Some photos of the aftermath of the flooding at the club. The arena is buggered and heaps of fences are down, thank heavens for battery electric fence units and electric fence tape! We've probably got $20k damage down there.
I lost two of the logs I split, but more have washed inand I also scored a plastic pump housing, I hope that's not theivery.
1st photo is 'after' of photo 3 in the first post, photo2 and 2 are before and afters.
Cheers

Still pouring down here, 48 hours without a break, one road to highway is cut, road south is cut and road north is passable from time to time. Many, many trees blown over and damaged, the local council is doing a great job keeping roads clear
Schools closed for the day and many business not even bothering to open.
Just saw Qld news, they copped a lot more damage than we did , the media were trying to place blame with Brissy Council or Dept of public works or SES for damage, mother nature had nothing to do with it..

I am happy to report that Cliff collected his table saw with no problems; I am delighted that it is going to a good home on the Atherton Tableland.

The router bits are here, but cannot get to the shed to use them for a couple more days at least.

On wednesday night I attempted to drive to mr ladyfriend's place (which had flooded) at about 8. I waited till the traffic died down a bit because earlier it looked like suicide.
Anyway, some of the scareist driving I've ever done. I eventually got the
the blockage at jungle jims (after fording the 12" flowing over the road
at csiro) and turned back but before I did I saw something that even
amazed me.
We're all queued up in the left lane, 4' of water over the road and the
cops had stopped any more idiots trying it on (There was already at least
one floater and the tow trucks were going in to fish him out). So ahead of
me a mitsubishi lancer backs out into the clear right lane and starts
reversing back to the lights to turn around and go back. Some complete and
utter d*h**d in a forrester comes tearing down the right lane, assuming
the 60 odd cars lined up in the left were only parked to take in the view.
This is an expected level of stupidity, but the bit that blew even my
cynical mind was he pulls up about 15 feet behind the lancer, reversing
lights blazing, and just sits there, for about a minute or so. So you've
got these two cars staring each other down. The lancer has no where to go
cos the median is too high to cross. Where the F*k did the forrester think
the lancer was going to go ? Seriously. Seriously! I was ready to get out
and punch this idiot. Don't bother handing in your licence, just hang
yourself...I'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

Yup, thank you.
Also thank you to Mrs. Rocker for lunch.
We got the saw onto a pallet on the back of a ute & then filled a big carton of jigs, blades, a sander & lots of extras.
The courier company had another pallet for me to put the carton on 'cos it was over weight for one person to carry.
It should all arrive this arvo.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

I had my lappy aimed at the radars in Bris, Grafton, Sydney & Perth for a few days.
Ours dominated our news, but it was pretty feeble compared with what I saw. 144mm in 24 hrs in Yamba? I visited the place about 71, I reckon it would have been under water.
Money Bags check with her family in Brisbane, they'd not had to get their water wings out yet.
I suppose it's one way to end a drought
