Floods
Well the floods have subsided but not gone completely. We were one of the lucky people. Most of the houses around us are lowset houses and they had a lot of damage caused by the floodwaters. All the houses had carpet which have now been ripped out of the houses and waiting for pickup. The only problems we had was we lost 5 aircons (landlords problem TAFE) and 1 clothes dryer (our problem), the brakes on the 4X4 are water logged and some minor damage to our motorbikes, so we consider ourselves very lucky.
Now the council are under attack as some of the areas affected by the flood had been deemed Flood Free by the council and very few have flood covered under their insurance. One person I know have had their damage classified as "storm surge" and will cover the damage but their next door neighbor wont be covered (different insurer who claim its flood not surge)
Mozzies and sandflies galore, spiders (I am an arachnophobic) and snakes galore (well I have seen 9) we have 2 snake bite victims.
