My brother has the flood at his front door in Goomboorian. Still rising at the moment.

Here is a photo he sent.

how far normally is he away from the river?

I can see why the horse has a long face. I hope they stay dry, I can't imagine the angst watching waters flood your premises and there's nothing you can do about it.

[plusnq]

how far normally is he away from the river?

150 metres. It's up at the 100 year level.

150 metres. It's up at the 100 year level.

They've copped a flogging this year. Just read a news report, one dead and ten missing and already numerous swift water rescues where people continue to drive thru floodwaters.

Hope all the Swaggers on the Sunny Coast & South Burnett areas are all OK as well

His property is high, but not dry ie he is currently flooded in but is confident that his property will not go under.

Ya know a flood is on when,
Local cattlemen move their stock.
This arvo they moved their cattle to higher ground.
Our ferry stop operating yesterday arvo, river height gauges throughout the Clarence Valley and catchments have risen, with more predicted falls, there will be many road closures.
It's part of living in The Clarence Valley.

ya need to move to Clarence Heights

We are living the dream in Lawrence Heights.
96 on Woodford Island we went through a big flood, I said to Fysh, never again, so we bought here high up on the hill.
Floods are just a part of life here,
Roads get cut, most people prepare well.

Yep..... we're going great.

we've now had 365mm in 36 hours, but most of it in 24 hours.

Well over 400mm for the week and no flooding and don't expect o either.

Pretty wild weather/rainfall.

[Fizzie]

Good to hear!

How about you, Beemer

& you as well, Pete

Brissie itself is well & truly copping it atm with 200-300mm overnight!

Looks like it may be our turn down here later today

Stay safe everybody!

That's good.   

Keep an eye open around your area for a white Triton ute with a short canopy and green tatchet strap on top. Some lowlife bottom dwelling maggots stole it in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Your truck get pinched?

THIS IS 2011.... NOT TODAY.
Our place and Wivenhoe with the water all the way to the top.

That's our place at the tip of the pen. The lagoon is the lower/right portion of the photo, with Atkinson's dam behind us in the top of the photo. That's a SEQ Water channel right beside us that connects the two. TODAY....The gates on the lagoon are open and its running hard, Atkinson's dam is at 70% and will be full this afternoon, but has a natural spill, so can't back onto us. You can see in the photo, the area i call the black forest and when i say, we back onto Atkinson's dam, i mean, we back onto it.

[Bird]

I've often wondered why they dont pipe line the flood waters out west... yes ti would cost Shit loads but its better than wasting it... once its done it would pay for itself for drought ravaged places in central..


If you were hoping the wet weather might finally be on the way out, we have some bad news. Meteorologists have said it could be soggy until April.

Hi Fizzie

We aren't getting anywhere near the numbers that are falling closer to the coast. Yesterday was a big one, relatively speaking, with 86mm falling. East and south Nanango have both gone under to some extent, but nothing too severe yet. We live on a hill, so will never be impacted by anything less than Noah proportions😂, thanks for asking🙂

[Jeepers Creepers]

Watched the live higgins site thing this morning. (just a little while ago)

It would seem, we have the potential for a further 500 to 700mm yet to come.

Shit is getting serious now too, had to postpone the roll cage in the Zephyr because the ground is too wet to get it out.

[rags]

A few photos of our block with the South Pine in flood, currently around 2 metres below the workshop floor level which if the surveyors got it righ is 450mm above 100 year flood level.
Edit buggered if I know why the 2 photos turned sideways, will see if I can fix later.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Ha ha ha.... this is pretty rare.
The flat footed, blonde crested, yellow coated, short arsed, Norwegian duck.
So very rare to see one in the wild in Australia.

[Fizzie]

Jeez, a raincoat!!!

Now you're really gonna cop it!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Not as much as the Sunny Coast by a long shot, but 446mm here in 48 hours and if you include the 60 we got early in the week, we've cracked in so far for a whopping 506mm of rain.
AND NO FLOODING.....yet.
Out here, around an even 1,000 to 1,200 would cover the whole year.

No, my ute, the maggots drove through the fence. 

Don't know why, the pics are pixelated here now.
