From the flood clean up ....

[adm333]

There are many, many stories emerging from the floods. Here is just one, with some small relevance to this site.

A friend of mine has regained access to their office, badly affected by the floods. For Christmas they had a "toys" theme and gave each others toys.

He posted this photo today, of some of the "post flood toys" they found scattered around the office.

I think the Land Rover should be put into a perspex box and preserved.

Maybe if they are not too attached to it, I will do just that.

Yeah I was helping a mate as his place at Oxley today - I've never seen so much stuff piled up in the street - so much of everything just stuffed - carpets. plasterboard, furnishing, electrical appliances etc. Very sad.

There's a fair few Asians in the area and apparently they just couldn't be told - wouldn't beleive about the flood severity - and as a consequence lost it all. Sad. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2011/01/866.jpg

Bloody hard work but it's amazing how good you feel inside afterward ! The body may be sore but the heart and mind are re-invigorated. It's very satisfying to chip in and help.

I didn't take pics (there were too many bloody gawkers and sightsee-ers as it was) but the most amazing thing (to me) was the park across the road from Nev's place. Some bloody big trees there and they were brown to about 2/3 of the way up, then green above. (Tide mark). Incredible. That''s a LOT of water.

I was in Goulburn doing driver training and we drove around some of the sections affected by the floods in early december and the tide marks was what suprised me aswell. We drove around checking out the flood affected houses and the line was just so defined. Brown on one section of the houses in a perfect straight line all the way around and then crisp white paint above. has to be seen to be believed.

I hope he's doing alright.

Good on you for going to pitch in.

I would definitely have been there too, but I am out of town and have been for a few weeks.

Some people are very selfish. I was doing point duty at a fatal accident and some bloke had a whinge at me when I told him the road was closed and he had to go the long way. What do you say to ******* like that?

when doing traffic directions for the ADF when we were doing DACC taskings I used to just get them to go an park the car somewhere near by and wait or they could come and talk to me until we could get them through the short way.

mostly after about 20 minutes those that had taken me up on the offer would make the comment that "had we gone the other way I'd have been there by now." I'd usually just agree with them.

Hmm, not like the Army then, can't bastardise the mongrel. How about a spot roadworthy on the tossers vehicle?
