its horrible whats happened in qld, but in the midst of all this, did any of you know about the Brazil floods? over 500 deaths there so far!!

and now tas has burst dams and vic is goin under too!! 

Not to take anything away from Queensland but how are our Victorians going. Heather how are you going down there?

Yep fine.  Just can't ride on any of my favourite roads because they're covered in water or had hills fall on them.  

Thanks for asking. 

So is there anyone heather you can think of that  we should be concern for

Not unless we know somone in the Horsham, Bendigo, Echuca triangle.  Seems to be where the worst of it is.  So I guess it will all end up in the Murray river and flood South Oz next.  Look out Vossy/MrS2R it's on it's way.  

hope everone got through ok.
all I can do over here is donate...

amazing.  looks like the house I used to live in at Corinda was surrounded!

I live in Goodna and we were particularly hard hit.  We lost everything but what fit in four Pajero loads, and a few extras like the car, the monster and the pushbikes.  80% of what was probably Queensland's largest video game collection is now headed for the dump.  We were insured, and we were renting, so we're unburdened and living with family five minutes away.   

We're doing well so far.  Standing in front of our yard looking at the mountain of shit that used to be our lives was a bit emotional, but we're safe, warm, dry and looking forward.

Sorry to hear that NFG but you seem to have the right attitude to get through it The insurance thing has been worrrying me, so you are definitely covered?

Bloody rental properties and their water problems

Best of luck mate.

Best luck NFG chin up and if there is anything we can do we will try and do our best for you

Glad to hear your still in one piece Lawrence.  (And that the Monster survived.) Just think of all the fun you will have tracking down all those video games again when the insurance comes through.

i hope u part out the arcades!! a collection as big as it sounds there has to be some hard to get parts it there that are still good. im in the industry too and its very sad to hear... 

 Finally got the word that my mate and his wife are safe, but unfortunately they lost all their horses, sheep and dogs, not to mention ALL their belongings in the flood.
I just got back last night after 3 days in Brissy with a mate of mine. We decided to go over and lend a hand in cleaning up.
WOW! what a sight, and smell  ( I cried ) It was amazing to see strangers banding together to help others. Made me feel proud to be an Australian.

Unfortunately I was unable to catch up with my other friends there, but hey at least they're alive and well.

My wife and I are looking into getting other horse owners down our way to donate stock feed for the people in the toowoomba / lockyer valley area.
I'm working on transport as we speak.

Good to hear they are safe Vossy.  And good on you for helping out.

Your are legend Vossy for helping out, so proud of you for lending a hand,and so relieved you mates are ok and living

Good onya Vossy,

     Makes us all proud to be Aussies
