Took me two hours to get from Amberley back to Rosewood & now flooded in, buy at least I'm home & the beer fridge is full.
Good luck to all those less fortunate.

Yes, if you could fish from your back door it would be perfect...

Yeah,
we spent the day evacuating all our gear off the bottom floor at work, moving it all up to the first floor. Then we get told this. '74 saw the first two floors flooded to the ceiling!

Know how you feel Binder, spent most of the day moving stock off floor into higher racks in the warehouse, and then find out just as I am leaving that they increased the flood height to 5.45mt. Work is 200mt from Bulimba Creek at Hemmant. In '74 there was a meter of water over the block we are on at work. So I guess I'll be moving it up higher again in the morning...groan

Keeps dry and safe all. :youbeauty

We had a foot of water through the building at work on last nights high tide, its almost low tide and we still have 2 foot of water in the parking lot.

Those that could get to work are now madly trying to get gear up to the 3rd floor, got about 12 millions worth of test equipment at risk, without worrying about all the general office type stuff..

Sorry to hear that Fitzy, give me a call if I can lend a hand. It will be a week or more before I can get to Condamine.
