Stay safe all you Mob that are in the path of this :ok:
Please log in when you get power back so that we know you are safe and well
Echoing the sentiment.! :angel:
Here in Brissie it's been raining all day and most of last night.
I hope that the Bureaucrats don't wait until the last minute to let some water out of the dams like they did in 2011, and then try and blame it on someone else.
Hopefully there's someone with common sense in charge now.
It makes a change from North Qld copping it

Yeah but hotter temperatures/global warming means that southern
Qld is sucking up a lot of the heavy weather that North Qld gets
every year.We regularly get 300mm+ of rain in any given 24hr period
keep safe up there.
Looks like AJ gets some good rain out of this in Grafton , Lucky Bugger.
I am on satellite internet where I am , and I just got it back on at 6.15 pm .

Good to see you are safe and well Mate :good:
A little rain but not much so far, from 8.30 yesterday morn to 10 last night had a huge 30mm here :( but we'll take what we can get but should get a little more over the next few days :good:
Send some rain over to Adelaide, we're cooking over here. I hope everyone pulled up ok through the storms.
Don't think the rain has quite finished yet and if I could I would PP.
Maybe that stupid pipeline that Jeff Kennett wanted to pipe excess water from Qld to Vic wasn't such a bad idea after all.
But the cost, phew!
I reckon it is great idea and should have been built about 80 years ago
Ah you pair, it's just a PIPE dream :mocking: sorry I really couldn't help that one :)

Ex Premier Beattie said they(Qld) have plans dating back to the depression(1930's) to pipe water South to NSW,Vict. & SA.
should have done it
imagine the $$$ QLD could earn and the $$$ they would have saved on things like flood damage recovery
and imagine the ability to save our farmers in times of drought ?
old Joe was too busy building himself fancy roads into Kingaroy and not putting more into infrastructure for QLD
we'd drive hundreds of miles when I was a kid (out west QLD)
one year - bulldust and dead cattle & sheep all the way
next year - plain floods and bog
I used to think about ways of capturing water run off, building more dams and long distance pipelines when I was a teenager
should have done engineering
had 3 in the family but I am not one of them!! ha ha
making rivers would be cheaper and easier, just a thought :)
I think Bradfield is one of the projects Beattie was talking about but there were others.
