It would be very interesting to see whats floating in Moreton bay today.
The reports we received all day yesterday of various boats, houseboats, moorings with boats still attached , jetties, fridges, wheelybins etc drifting out of the Logan River were amazing.
If you are going out on the waters in your boat today.....beautiful weather for it.....be very aware of floating and half submerged objects.
Waterford Tamborine Road both directions. Waterford Bridge. Our driveway on Thursday
That why that bridge is there [emoji3]
Photos taken this afternoon
Waterford- Tamborine Rd looking nth The sign in the distance was all out of the water when pic was last taken. 2nd looking sth
Thats probably the highest i have seen it at the Waterford bridge for a long time.
We lived for many years just around the corner from it,the old bridge was there when we first lived in that area.
In fact in the '74 floods,a house was washed up against that bridge causing the water to cut the corner and create Tygum lagoon.
The main issue seems to be, in many areas due to development there is way more run off,and the watercourses have been changed by the developers.
The levels of the '74 floods are not really relevant in many areas any more.These days there can be less rain,but more flooding.
Remembering in '74, Brisbane and the Brisbane valley had around 700mm of rain in 36 hours,and the area was already soaked from torrential downpours during the 3 weeks prior.
Pacific Highway should be open.
It is now.Quote:

I found a real estate sign from Ipswich which would have hung on a fence of a house being sold , on the beach. Boats, you say? I wonder if salvage rights apply?.Quote:

So I broke out a bottle of The Wise One port - seemed like a good idea.
