For the information of those interested the floods have greatly subsided in the Queesnland area, though on some estimates it will take up to 2 years before the areas are back to as they were. The death toll for South east Queensland stands a 16 with about 60 missing, primarily in the area near where Danwell lives (Toowoomba) The flood that hit this area was totally unexpected and freakish.

The floods have moved to northern New South Wales and in Victoria (my state) we are experiencing floods in some of our country towns.

By far the most serious floods have been in Queesland in which 75% of the state has been declared a disaster area. They have had floods in the state for the past 4 - 5 weeks
