it's pretty bad when the frogs need to get out of the water!
some more good news, the person I was talking about outside of Brisbane returned home and somehow his horses had made it back- all but one. Pretty incredible given he saw them washed away.

We are fine here. We live on the northern outskirts of Brisbane and the river that broke the other day was due to very heavy rainfall for weeks. The rain has settled now and the Brisbane river is too far away to affect us here. Having said that, my work by day is right on the edge of the current flood waters. Looking at the flood maps this morning (it's 5.24am as I type) the water is within 2 metres of the carpark at work. I really have to go to work today because we are finishing a TV set for one of the big stations here and we have to install it on Sunday. I guess we'll post a watch on the water outside while we work in the sheds on this set.
Yesterday I had to travel to the Gold Coast (south of Brisbane) and we got back and over the Brisbane river about 2 hours before they closed our access back across off. I think there's access again today but it would have been a crap night if we hadn't gotten back over.
This morning, just now actually, we were watching on TV a tugboat guiding a 100m long x approx 7m wide section of floating walking, complete with lamp posts attached etc down the river to miss the Gateway Bridges. The gateway bridges are huge and would have been devastating if they damaged badly, or worse, brought down.
Today is a king tide and we wait to see what that brings late this afternoon.
