An area the size of NSW in flood apparently I made it back to Brisbane today after a few failed attempts thanks initially to flooded creeks and then the fwits at main roads being the most dysfunctional tools out there, but my laps of the bruce highway pales in to insignificance when compared to what so many have gone/going/about to go through.Living in Brisbane for 10+ years I've seen some heavy rain but nothing like what was falling up at the olds' place around Xmas.

Least we don't need a racetrack now. Just as much fun trying to dodge all the potholes. Central QLD Raceway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads also lined with people pulled over changing their tyres, seems that even in poor conditions morons love to tailgate and can't really see what's coming until it's too late.Went up to Awoonga Dam to see the 4m+ of water over the spillway and all the dead barra floating down the Boyne River as a result, if you had no idea what was going on you'd think there had been a chemical spill in the river. Didn't venture any further north than there though so yeah post up some pics if you've got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get home and check out the callide dam it's never been more then 50% full now it's up near 100% and I hear the wall is leaking like a siv haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the clean up bill is goin to be huge after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the dickheads running this joint will now pull their fingers out of their arses and install gates on it for flood mitigation like they've been talking about for the last decade. And yeah Awoonga isn't that big just deep, spillway is 40 meters high or something now from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
