Good idea on behalf of the commitee I say,well done.
Now I just have to get home myself,my car is in Toowoomba which is currently cut off.The unsealed roads where I work are closed and my flight to Toowoomba has been cancelled for tomorrow.Can't drive in or out from where I am so work may have to chopper us all out to Roma.Then try and get a flight home or something.We still have all the essentials so we have time to wait it out.What's it like on the coast at the moment?

wet.

but not serious like where you are, or any of the other centres.
tweed river is expected to flood, and northern nsw is getting a caning.
keep dry and tell the boss you don't do choppers,
find a pub, they will at least be able to put the kettle on for you.;)

[dickyjoe]

Feeling for you folks up there. Chin up.

[Outlaw]

Bloody hell it is not nice around the place... we're mostly lucky so far but a couple members affected.

Hey Eric I hope you are ok and also your truck in toowoomba.

We are off to Kirra on Thursday if we are still above water here. Hope it doesnt move to the Gold coast next.

Great idea with the donation...

[Outlaw]

Hoping everyone are still okay... as stated by Harry we will organise working bee's etc. to help out when required.

I spent the morning evacuating a family member from East Brisbane. The D1 was a superstar, making trip after trip through water that started at knee high and finished at waist height at the deepest point on our final trip in-out. Once their place was empty the D1 started serving the rest of the street! A 130 delivered some sand bags, and one of the residents escaped in their Series!! Wish I could have got a picture of the 3 land rovers working in the flooded street - :cool:

Good luck to all for tomorrow!

In true GCLRO style, here's a pic for proof!! :)

Make way - Land Rover coming through!! :D

I did a drive past your place Philco... Had to return the 130 anyway ;)

Facebook seems to have the best updates... check the qld police page

no use checking there phil,
you havn't reported your 130 stolen yet,
and it wasn't stolen, josh put it back.

you might notice more front tyre wear in the next few months, and don't try to park on wet grass.:angel:
