Flooding

To assist with people finding information

This is the most recent map of what will be happening in the next few days. This will load but you must give it time to load as the server is being very full.
I ask that everyone takes extreme care during this very dangerous rain event.

You & 10,000 other people. New Farm is over-run by sight-seers on bikes with beers and iPhones. None of them are looking where they are going!MountGower wrote:Sight seeing rides are cool though. I might fit one of those in over the next couple of days. I promise not to laugh.

Sight seeing a natural disaster, no better than rubber neckers looking at car accidents and we know how much of a PITA that is.

Seems its ok for so called Celebs to go rubbernecking.
Wally Lewis admitted on the news he was out driving around looking at the streets.
But he stopped and helped someone. So maybe that makes it ok.

When I was a kid, mates and I went for miles on surfboards and pilfered whatever we could.But he stopped and helped someone. So maybe that makes it ok.
I also peeled potatoes for days on end and helped cleanse family friends houses.
This flood was predicted.

On a lighter note, those tugboat captains just encapsulate the best in people. I read that the tugboat captain Doug Hislop not so long ago had to put up with one of his former employees pilfering $400,000 from his business. This is what he had to say then:

Glad it didn't destroy him and he went on to do greater things. Good on you Doug. You are a true inspiration.Bowen Tug & Barge managing director Douglas Hislop said the company took almost three years to recover but was now bigger than ever. Some staff had also been re-hired.
"When it all happened I deliberately didn't think about it because that sort of thing can destroy you. It happened, we got past it and went on with it," Mr Hislop said

Apparently he was helping out, lugging peoples luggage around etc, I was told the whole escapade came across as somewhat cheesy.
Then I saw this and had to chuckle: http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/fl ... 5988117584
I do wonder whether it was all just a publicity stunt?
For a brief moment I find myself not wishing I was back in Brissie.

Here's a link to the ABC interview with K-Rudd you ate talking about. I've gotta say he sounded pretty genuine during the interview. But I'd love to know if he stuck around and kept helping after the cameras went home…Crawf wrote: I do wonder whether it was all just a publicity stunt?.

On closer inspection, a family was having a great old time on board. I assume they boarded at Sangate, and are not castaways from a picnic gone terribly wrong in Bellbowrie.
I cant imagine plastic chairs would have made the trip as well, and they appeared to have full picnic amenity...esky, glasses, drinks, food. The kids have boogie boards. It just gets weirder the more i consider it.

I bicycle commute from Woolloongabba to Toowong each day and I'm heading back into work tomorrow, Monday. They are closing some lanes along Coronation Drive so I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the bike lane along the river at Coronation Drive is OK? I go along there and take the tunnel into Land St. Anyone ridden through there in the last few days?
