It is unfair if only one bike gets all the attention.

one bridge spanning the creek between Ashgrove and St John's Wood.
Anybody know which recent deluge claimed this bridge ?

I think I posted a pic of this a few weeks back. It was the first batch of floods we had this year, and the cause was a full sized power pole that had been rammed directly into the upstream steel I-beam, which pushed the the downstream one off the supports (including breaking it out of the concrete). The decking went with it. The upstream beam stayed until a crane took it away. The downstream one was bent link a banana and they were hefty beams. Enterprising kids were using it to balance on across the creek to get to school.elantra wrote:Gone !

But never fear Brisbane commuters - I ordered some waterproof shoecovers online last night, so we will have 6 years of drought starting when they arrive.

Looking to the south-east, most of Brisbane except Yeronga area was under cloud or rain.
Splendid example of a brisbane pothole here...
These photos were taken at around 7am, later on in the day traffic congestion was severe, in part due to the weather conditions.
