Deluge...


Park near the Creek...

Entrance to the Creek

Our Bridge totally under water...

Like allot of Queensland at the moment we have had our fare share of rainfall in the last 36 hrs. We ended up cut off from everyone for about a day, yesterday...

Amazing how a little rain (in comparison) can have on land that has already had so much rain... This has meant that The Cunningham's Gap has been closed again. Where they had been working on it (the huge hole I showed you in a previous post) has moved and taken most of the road with it. It will be closed at least till the end of the week if not longer. Waterfalls that have been created up there are not helping much either and are loosening large rocks... More detours through poor old Toowoomba who isn't coping well either.

Allora is also in trouble with Dalby totally cut off still. We were lucky really, we could see all the water down below and in the distance over the other side of the highway. Creeks that don't usually exist you could hear rushing through closed windows. Am so glad that we are on a hill. One entrance is still cut off but we are able to get out via the main bridge. Amazing thing is that a week ago we were having a picnic there and 24 hrs ago it was completely under water.

My car was stuck in the driveway so these great photos I thank my friend Carly for. :) Thanks for the great piccies Carly :)

Today we all went into Warwick and you could see the deluge that was left behind there. Still allot of flooding and many shops along the Condamine had been flooded... The debris is just everywhere along the Highway as well. So many parts of roads that we drove along even just this morning are a complete mess... Government and Local budgets blown now for sure... Just amazing what a little rain can do...

Pantry is all stocked up again which is good too as we are supposed to be getting more rain by the weekend. Best get some washing on the line. lol

Cheers Damaris
