I finally got through by phone to my Sister - just east of Ipswich - this evening.
The dry creek bed below their home is rapidly flowing for the first time in many years. They were swimming in it yesterday evening. Last time i saw it - 2 years ago, you could not get your big toe wet.
They are being flooded, they live in what we call a Queenslander - two stories and the bottom level is mostly living area , the bedrooms etc. are on the first floor.
They are building a catamaran - she says she's gonna get real worried when she sees a line-up of pairs of animals at the boat.
