To Matt. I hope you are on higher ground. I was in Brisbane during the 1974 floods and it took ages for low lying areas to dry out. I was only a kid, but remeber being excited because we got an extra 2 weeks off school.
Thanks for that... yeah I'm up on a big hill in Gailes, out Ipswich way. I barely managed to make it home from work today and I won't be going in tomorrow. I just came back from taking a stroll around the floods at the foot of the hill I'm on - will post a couple of pics here (a bit of a thread hijack but I hope no-one will mind too much.)
I remember the '74 floods too, I was about 9 at the time. Big floods are always more exciting when it's not your house under water. Hmm maybe I should change to RC boats instead of planes... or sea planes perhaps.
