Thread: It's flooding

That sound great would'nt mind giving the Disco a thorough under body was to clean up after City View 4x4 Park. I had the chance to go traversing floodwater around Mudgeeraba a year ago and it was an eye opener to say the least.
After cruising along at around bottom of head light level to find the road to dip and im now driving along with the water just lapping over the front of the bonnet and that occasional dieing feeling in the motor. Just made it to a rise again after 250meters of driving to half wheel level at a causeway.
4x4 then died.
It took 2 hours until it dryed and she restarted and drove as usual :? Close Call :? But was the best fun I have had.

It pays to watch the white poles on the side of the road for water level change 8O

I'm guessing that that cheap block of land I was looking at in South Lismore, right by the river, is now looking a little damp.

LoadedDisco, it was you then that I saw there!!! :? Was that on the road that runs past the back of the sports fields past the parks towards Bonogin Rd? You were more towards the baseball fields side on the little bridge? I went past there but only after the water had subsided a little, it gets very deep and FAST 8O . Was wondering about that......
Glad you had no damage

e-mail them to me :wink:

Hi Tishhh, good to see you are still out and about having fun :wink:
It's about time you grace us with your presense at our GCLRO meeting again .
With the ses evacuating, the river must be quite high!!! when i worked there my office looked out on their shed. Why are the levy gates not open? i thought that was to flood the place in a controlled way to minimise damage?? and you say more water is on the way Keep us informed and stay safe :wink:

Flooding is out and about around mudgeeraba too, though council has ruined the fun as they are on top of it this time. Normally one can expect a bit of a water crossings around Firth Park ( struggled to not zip off road for a bit of "dirty" fun in the mud and water), and further out where I am Mudgeeraba creek runs round the base of my property and it was rising. Last year when I had a Territory and we had the major flooding I was able to make quite a few crossings but when hit Southport, all was lost along Smith Street as many of you would know the whole lot went under. Of course whilst keeping safety in mind, wouldnt mind a water crossing on the way home ,
