Re: Goodbye Brisbane
Shame. First place I landed in Australia. I always thought the river was a pleasant way to commute into the city centre. Nice man-made beachs by the river in the heart of the city. It all looked so nice when the river was at normal levels.
I hope it is not as bad as predicted.

Re: Goodbye Brisbane
3/4 of the state of Queensland have been declared a disaster zone. The scenes are just shocking.

Brisbane is not New Orleans. They are Aussie battlers and will pull through.

Its pretty bad up in qld.
Sadly many will learn not to build on flood plains.
already about 15 killed - 30 + missing. Sad.
And this is outside the major population centres - so these deaths are only from a total population I estimate of less than 500K?

82% of Queensland was under water at one stage! We're talking like the whole of Europe.
