QLD Weather!
If anyone from the effected areas has made it back home or is able to get online, how are you coping, i've been watching the news and its looking a bit wet! We haven't had much rain up here on the sunshine coast today and has been quite clear.

Re: QLD Weather!
we've had about 3-4" and its still raining up here. wouldn't want to be in some parts of brissy though. Mt Glorious copped about 18" (bout 450mm). the place must look like a waterfall with that much rain. my front tyre is so bald its nearly a slick, and i gotta ride it to work tomorrow
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Re: QLD Weather!
Woke up to the sun this morning, and we thought we might be able to get out for a bit on the bikes. Half an hour later, the rain was here again!
Cheers,

Re: QLD Weather!
Got a sandstone block retaining wall at the front of my house and had a minor land slip/collapse as the rain washed all the dirt from between/behind the rocks
Don't want to make light of other peoples misfortune, but a positive for me from the flooding is that I may get some business from insurance replacements of damaged equipment

Re: QLD Weather!
It's a bugger about Peachester. I rarely get up there, but I love the road! We were lucky here, being high we never have any problems with flooding. I did send Jeff up into the roof as I was concerned about one part of the ceiling which we only had fixed after the big November storms. All good though!
Cheers,
Anne

Re: QLD Weather!
we are still trapped down here in yamba.
they are opening the road outta here tonight i hope
ive got severe cabin fever.
the annoying thing is that its been good weather since sunday here. if the beach wasnt filthy i would be tempted to go surfing.
we managed to avoid anything serious here just the roads are cut off and the high tides come back up the drains.
Grafton and Maclean got it good but it didnt break the levy walls.
