Cold bacon and raw eggs don't sound too appetizing.

Blown the cover off the gazebo as well?

Just been down the park,which is next to the Logan River.
Its almost up to 2011 levels,and its higher now at low tide than it was at high tide this morning.
Tomorrows high will be interesting.

We are way up on a hill,fridge full of food,so fine.Just trying to sort out roof leaks....again

We have a gas cook top Ian and a gas hob as back up in the dormobile


We've managed to clear the bridge of rather large driftwood, although the water rose 2 feet while we were paddling in it with a chainsaw. So we are still stranded

It's overflowing the bridge at the bowls club north of Samford now- that's got to be 6 or 7 m above normal?

You need a flying fox from the dining room verandah, to the front gate.

I have been pumping 200mm of water out of the pool all day , just finished the 4th pump. Big bill at the pool shop when this is over. Will put about 10L liquid chlorine in the morning can't be much salt left with what I have pumped out last few days.

We have been cooking on a portable single butane gas burner for last 6 weeks , Our induction cook top carked it & is dearer to repair than for a new one . Because we have stone bench tops we had to buy the same brand again , there web site showed in stock two 1week delivery , 3 days later they sent new D/D of 4 weeks then the day before delivery rang to say another two weeks , STD reason on transport due to Covid . New D/D is tomorrow , won't hold my breath , new excuse will be due to floods i guess.

Jeezuz! You poor buggers are really copping it. I've never seen water flow along a Public road & into properties like some of those images. Being swept away would be your biggest concern I would think. The worst is yet to come I imagine, with repairs & cleaning up the Manor.

We'd just like a bit of that but it always goes North & South of Adelaide for some reason until later in the season.
I reckon it is probably the hot air rising from Parliament House that cause the wet stuff to divert, a bit like a Freeway.
Oh well keep dry & keep safe if you can. If you can't be careful.
