Our region is cut off not only by water but by fallen trees and landslides.
I read on Facebook this morning a group are setting out from Drake with chainsaws to make a " provision run" to Tenterfield. There are trees over the roads everywhere.
But it was wonderful to wake up today and find no rain.
Even Casino CBD and surrounds has been flooded with shops getting about a foot of water.. not much but still does a lot if damage...we are hoping that the landslides are cleared by tomorrow to go in and help tidy the Salvation Army shop in Casino which was flooded ... I could not believe that it got flooded. Carpet vendors will be busy. It is funny not hearing traffic on the highway or down our road....however the lake at the end of our road seems to have gone.
I was lucky, I left my van cause I thought I would get trapped, and came up to the main house...but not being able to charge the batteries or pump out my boat on the dam I thought the batteries would get ruined and the boat would sink. Happily somehow the panels git a little power I guess as the fridge was ok and so were the batteries. The dam came up so far the overflow could not cope and water covered the jetty and happily the boat sunk on top of the jetty which is as lucky as you can get...and no trees down cutting my track ... I keep a chainsaw in my little white car but not that capable these days.
Sorry Glen to talk about here given your op was about Brisbane.
