How are all you Sunshine Coast members holding up?

According to the news you're copping the worst.

Anyone need help?

It's a bit wild here in Brissy,.. but we should be ok.

Apparentley there has been a bit of a dash to Matt Berry's workshop at Cooroy by "h" and Kombi Bob to get evrthing up of the floor as the creek down the bottom of Matt's yard is comming up and he's not keen on a repeat of last Feb .
Hope all's good Matt .

why??

They have been running the barge's the last couple of days and flights out of Gladstone are all go... the roads are still closed in some places on the way down tho...

was it warm enough over there for you today?? or you one of the luckier ones and are in the A/C .

steff.........


Dasdubber - January 29th, 2013 at 10:04 PM

Hope all of you guys fared okay - anyone in Bundaberg must be doing it pretty tough right now.

Gladstone faire well really, river went over at the Boyne and some houses flooded.. they got cut off for a few days but all good now, have mates in bundy that are getting a pounding but not in danger of losing there house but he said just 100 m down the road they are close to totally underwater. Waters expected to peak there tonight/early morning..

Here in gladstone we had 1042mm (roughly 40+inches) in three and a half days! never seen rain like it..

steff.....
