Had to divert a bit on the way to work. Brisbane river is up about 15 - 18 feet at the Mt Crosby weir and of course colleges is under. Everytime someone sneezes colleges goes under
The water isn't comming from wivenhoe, apparently it's runoff downstream of the dams. If 10" does this can't wait till we get some serious downpours....I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Our pony club didn't do so well. We lost most of our jump poles, they're probably floating down the river now and two horse floats were washed onto their sides, why are they called floats? Still don't know if the arena is where we left it. And another storm on the way now.
Cheers

we mised the bad storm on sunday here althow i drove from gold coast to brisbane in it all the way.
when i got right up to brookfield i had to stop adn the wind was strong it was rocking the ute almost rolling us over. i parked in the middle of the local show grounds away from all the trees.
we got 9" rain last night braught the creeks up really quick. lots of mising fences and 3 mising horses form next door.
the creeks were within 18" of the 1974 flood height. but went down quick.

A few pics from around my yard last Sunday.
Guanaba - eastern foothills of Tamborine Mtn. No damage, except the bird netting over the veggie garden is trashed, and the Fig tree mentioned in the milling forum.

I thought I was seeing things when I emtied the rain gauge out on Thurs morning. 245mm just didn't seem right, but there it was. The new bridge buit at the 3 mile creek was a metre underwater and it was built about 3 metres higher than the old wooden bridge that it replaced. The Bremer river in town was lapping over the road and rising.
Dave,
