Hi Guys,
Yes, the weather has just been bizarre in past few weeks. We didn't have the fires that southern states had. I can't imagine the terror of living in an area where that is part of life, or knowing a bushfire is heading your way.
Rain has just stopped in past few minutes. We can't get out anywhere, but from first check around, it seems there is no damage from wind. Can't say the same for some of our relatively near neighbours. While I am not able to travel far, I can see that some properties are under water, including the homes. Looks like Gympie is gonna get a major flood again, with worst being tomorrow morning. Bureau forcasting bulletins are getting more dire with each new bulletin. If I can get into town tomorrow, i'll see if I can help anywhere.
For today, i'm using the reprieve to get into the shed & workshop, and check things in there. Torrential rain 1hr ago, and now he sun is trying to get his hat on! TV news is reporting flooding could be worse than seen in 60 years. Glad we built high up, let me tell you.
Just a couple of years ago, there were actually Locust plagues in the western parts of Queensland, so it does happen! I'm hoping we don't get the frogs or boils!!!!
I'll post any siginficant news as it comes to hand. Thankyou for your good wishes chaps.
