Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

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.

My kitchen roof is leaking.. yet again.. third time.

I was lucky at work I only had to do one lot of deliveries, but still got wet

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

yeah wow, we got the usually heavy down pour, but its stopped again now!

geez bloody rain!

Thursday morning and the sun is peeking through!
What is it with the weather here this year??
THE DAMS ARE FULL ALREADY!!!!

yeah i went to bed at about 11 last night and it started absolutey bucketing down, i kept thinking we were gunna get flooded. Look out the window today and its blue sky calm and a little cool!

oh well hopefully that crap stays away and things go back to normal....

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!

Mike and I were out on the bikes most of the day today-
Fine until Mary Cairncross Park- while we were there it was about -40 degrees and BUCKETING down! We left and it was fine and sunny then drizzling and cold, then fine and sunny....
WTF has happened to our weather????

Had a ball anyway!

Almost! 11 degrees is cold for Brissie you know!

Well, the weather has REALLY affected ne now. Here are some pics of some of the flooding here. The landslide pic is my very favourite riding road, Peachester!

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

wow, methinks tht road will be closed for a while.

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!

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.
