I hope you and Nancy and any other QLD members are safe from that shocking weather you are having at the moment. My Wife and I will be in Brisbane for one day next week and we will be staying right next to the the Brisbane River, so I hope our hotel doesn't get flooded.

Everyone always goes on about bloody brisbane..no one thinks where all the water ends up. If you've ever been to qld you'll know that no where else exists in oz..true..just look at the news..NOTHING happens anywhere else, you could have WW3 break out but unless it happens with in it's boarders it won't get covered. I was born a bender but think the state has always been a joke and always will be..not that the others are much better :help: Australia is goin down hill that quick it's not funny and it's not the place I grew up in or they tried to tell us we'd be like in the futuer as that future in now here and now they all have their own visions of where we'll be in 2050 I'm gonna be that old if not worm crap already who'll care. looks like a :dodgy: future :zomby:

and for those who have no idea just look at the maps and see where the clarence starts and how many rivers run in to it and if you take notice when southern qld floods it goes one of two ways..toward the coast or to lake eyre depending on where it falls. We could flood in grafton and not have a drop of rain..all depends what side of the hills it falls as to who get how much

aj , thats because it,s down hill ,,.:taunt: sorry . i should,nt laugh

what about us up here , i live in a little town north of brisbane and we dont have sewerage , we only have septic , and we still use the toilet and have baths or showers , and when out tanks are full and we have no power , the tanks overflow and the toilets start to back up in our houses , , can you smell the stink .. and there is most old people living in our town , ..
the town is called , { GOD,S WAITING ROOM } and we still have no power , i had to get some petrol out of my mower drum to run my gererator to keep my kitchen fridge going for food and i have lost all the food in my freezer in the laundary and all my crab bait and pilchards and frozen flatheads in my fridge/freezer in the shed ..
4 times we have been promised we would have the power back on but still no power yet ,, we are going into our 4th day now , so hopeful it will come back on today ,.. ,, kel ,,
ps a few old people in this town have electric wheel chairs and they cant go out because of flat batterys ..shame energex shame ..i am on the emergency phone list because i have coad and have to get to hospital quickly , so i get poitiory on phone repair , but my phone needs power to work , so we have no phone either unless i use my gen .. just a winge for me today , now i am happy , and just dont care anymore .. luv ya all .. :heart::heart::heart: ,, kel ,,
,, take care because we care ,,

Good luck to all those having a tough time due to the weather

trout · January 29, 2013, 10:13:59 AM

we loose power every now and then but only for a few hours at a time.
4 days is bloody ridiculess, I would take all that putrid fish and bait and dump it on the reception desk of the power company :@

Fibre optics are super fast but the old wirless modems dont get washes away :good:
I live in the bush so my chances of getting a fiber optic connection are none and Bucklys anyway :dash1:
