It's all good at the Steptoe residence. Apparently it's not as low lying as I thought so that's a good thing. Childers was a car park again last night with both the Isis bridge (South) and the highway was closed at Gin Gin to the north and no one was going anywhere.
I'm high and dry with my place up on a ridge, though we are having an inundation of a different kind. Excuse the picture quality, but have a listen to the sound. You can't hear yourself think in the kitchen or dining room, but it's nice to have them around -
Here's some of the players

It's well beyond a bit of a laugh for you guys.

Stay safe and hope it drains away soon. Good luck.

Here's some pics from around where I work. Going to have a couple of days off till things ease off a bit. For a start, I can't get there.

Steps could be in a bit of strife at his place. It's pretty low around there.

Me neither. Haven't got a snorkel on the bike yet but I have been sussing out some flotation devices.
I did sit on it in the garage for a while. Does that count?
Couldn't ride it anyway. BAC was slightly high so I was being a responsible rider.

Not me  :'(

If you use the Hampton Rd when it dries out, be careful.
Rock slides, bolders on the road, BIG pot holes.
