Yes Reef the flooding has bothered an are aout the size of France and Germany combined. Luckily few deaths and most of those were due to stupidity.
It will be some weeks before Rockhampton is going to be clear of the water. Rockhampton is on The Fitzroy River, the second largest river basin in Australia.The Fitzroy flows into the Pacific.
en't had any messages. TTIT (VernOn the other side of the Great Dividing Range flooding rivers mostly wind up in the Darling River, which then flows into the Murray and eventually into the Southern Ocean that borders South Australia. The Murray-Darling Basin is the 4th Largest river basin in the world in terms of area. It has suffered from a lack of flow in recent years, so the floodswill eventually have a good effect there.
We hve some woodies in the effected areas and, apart from TTIT in Emerald, we haven't had any messages. TTIT (Vern). Is safe and so is hs gear, but his city of Emerald was really clouted.

Glad to hear that Vern made it out okay.
Hope all the Woodie folks make out okay.
We had a bad flood here back in 1984 that killed 14 people and cost well over 180 million and this was just like the Tulsa area of Oklahoma.
So I have seen first hand what a flood can do.
No fun there.
Pickups half submerged cars pushed off of roads and water 6 feet high crossing the road.
An eye opener indeed.
But still idiots trying to drive thru it.
As an inland state that is what made it even worse.
Cheers
