Queensland Flooding

[Stuart Thomson]

Hi All,

I'm now stuck in Chinchilla after coming up here last Friday.

I took my video camera this time, so here's a short video of our adventures.

Won't be at the BBQ tomorrow night :-(

Cheers

Brilliant.

Most of that is filmed on the Warrego Highway, Shitbox country!

I just had to leave work in West End, Brisbane. We are about 100 from the river(at the moment) and looks like our lower level will go under if it is as bad as the Premier just predicted. Higher than the 74 floods she reckons.

Stay safe Derek.  I hope your home is not in the same situation as your work.

Thanks Phil, my place is high and dry. Might be taking in a few friends soon though as their place will go under.

So I gather the New Farm parkland etc will be expected to flood ?

For anyone wanting to donate to flood relief for Qld, here is the govt online service:

Incredible footage from Toowomba yesterday.

I just read a headline that said "XXXX brewery in Brisbane may be flooded, but supply will not be affected"

While I dont want to make light of a business that got flooded....however, will supply not be affected because XXXX is muddy undrinkable water anyway??!!

ha i find this funny as i think the same thing. Also with WEST END draught and VB

Luckily, as the water here in now undrinkable, they have plenty of beer.

Also the local RSL has Tooheys Old, rather than the XXXX stuff, I'd rather get gastro than drink that.

It's fun brushing your teeth with beer though 

Cheers
