« on: January 11, 2011, 07:59:07 AM »
G'day guys, I'd like to say it was a funny I'm posting, however, it's not.  It's quite a bit more serious.... take a look at the site below to see what I am in for over the next few days.... for those of you on my facebook page, you'll be able to see the photo's from near my house.

I've been followinmg this on the news and things look real bad. I didn't realise it was so close to you Rom. I have a friend visiting Brisbane at this moment.  :(

Take care Rom I hope the worst is over for everyones sake.

Unfortunately not scotty, luckily it is a high set house and I have all my F1 gear safely stored upstairs...

If anyone wishes to see photos I have taken from around my house (within 500 meters in all directions) and you have facebook, send a friend request with the note "gpwizard" attached and I'll accept it.  Luke Attwood is my name.

Jeez Rom, I'm watching the live feed at the moment, this is really bad mate. You take extra special care my old friend, thinking of you and your countrymen.

Holy Moly Rom, how much more water can one state take? Some of the photos make the towns look more like water parks than homes. Hope you manage to get through the worst without having to evacuate, keep safe- oh and dry if you can.

The flooding is getting much coverage on the news over here. The size of the flooded area is astounding.

Be safe and God be with you all, my friend.
