Great photo. I was in Sydney last week where the rain was torrential and more! We have had a wetter season than usual here in Victoria but nothing like you have been receiving. Several friends in Lismore are homeless having lost everything. Hope you are safe
Hi Jacky and Suzanne - thanks to both of you for your concern. The rain and floods have been terrible. We are lucky in that our places on the GC and in Stanthorpe are both well above flood level.
Poor Brisbane is an absolute mess - so many places and businesses destroyed and thousands of tons of debris to remove from the river itself - pontoons, wrecked boats ( it would have broken your heart to see some of them ), CityCat terminals, sections of houses, a whole restaurant, jetties and so much general debris.
Katrina's town in NSW was virtually totally destroyed - the water came up 14metres. Locals were saving people from their roofs in tinnys and rubber ducks. It was unbelievable. Whole houses were washed away in some cases.
It's going to take a lot of cleaning up and a lot of thought from the Gov.
Jackie - Thanks again for keeping us updated re Katrina.
