Yes, we all just have to watch out for flood damaged vehicles that dealers will try and flog off to the unsuspecting. The auctions will be full of them over the next few months.

Feel sorry for all the poor buggers that have lost everything, and are still surrounded by murky brown water.

Mind you people pay big money for a house with a water view

Devistating photos, really shows the gravity of the situation.
If you can donate to the appeal we all know the money will go to a good cause, our fellow Aussie who have lost it all.

Yeah we will have to watch out for ourselves wont we. Or we could put our hands in our pockets and help the poor buggers out  .

+1.  

Here's a link >>  http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html

Or you can donate via your bank.  I'm sure plenty of Queenslanders - now under water - were amongst the generous folk all around Australia who donated to the Victorian Bush Fire appeal, now its time to return the generosity to our mates up north.  So pay up fellow Victorians!  And the rest of y'all  .

Just saw Toowoomba getting washed away on the news.  Hope our QLD DMFer's are okay?

Monsterdorf, Looney, Lance? ?

I know Monsterdorf's driveway is a 4wd track/creek bed at the moment.

[Jukie]

Only know of loony is ok for the moment but today or tomorrow might not be good for him,  so if you can guys let us know you are ok

[dragonworld.]

Keeping everything crossed down here!! 

[cakeman]

fingers crossed here too, its look pretty vicsious

[heatherp]

All roads out are cut off for Monsterdorf but house is on higher ground so okay so far.  But it's still raining.

Don't know about Looney. 

[ducmeister]

Thoughts and prayers are with all the Queensland mob.  Stay safe !

[loony888]

i'm all good so far, rang mick, he's losing a few fences he reckons but otherwise he's ok. not sure about anyone else so far, but crikey it's wet! there's been some serious rain, they say wivenhoe dam will reach 200% and overflow, that's even with the gates open and the equivalent of two sydney harbours flowing out every 24 hours!!!
I hope everyone stays safe.

The Brisbane river bursting it's banks is insane.
