January 2011 Flood Images

[Angus]

Guys these are from the bottom of my street in Yeronga...

Note in the first pick the pontoon has reached its max and the caps have popped off.

Second photo you can see one of 6 pontoons we saw float past in under 15 minutes.

[ryanyoung]

Pretty amazing shots there Gus, a lot of money floating past right there.

Been a while since I've been on here but with all that's going on over there in Brissy at the moment I had to pop back. Crazy pictures Angus.

All that madness must be pretty surreal, it was incredible enough watching it on the news.

Meanwhile over here it's clear (see attached out of my office window) and as dry as a dead dingo and it's been sitting around 37 degrees for the last week or so. What a country of extremes hey?!

Will try to get back on here a bit more often now, hope you're well Gus, Ryan, Henry etc.

[Terry H]

Will upload some photos of the local area when I get the battery charged up on the 2nd camera that I needa use to get photos on the pc.

Pretty amazing stuff happenign right now. Bugger me though, there is a lot of water around!

We were the last car into Kilcoy on Sunday. Have some video footage I will post when I get the new camera to talk to the laptop. We ended up having to come home via Mt Glorious in the pouring rain. Wasn't much fun at all.

The creek for this is usually quite small, a small trickling freshwater creek home to some eels. The Creek is actually behind the white trucked trees you see in the background.

Same creek, at a pedestrian/bike track bridge crossing.

A nearby neighbourhood, bit of water in the streets

Heres a beauty:

Just after the white sign, there should be a foot bridge. The creek there is usually about a metre deep and very slow flowing, if at all. I have caught many freshwater eels off this bridge, however you cannot even see it in the flood waters. Just some debris crashed up against it.

And a beauty:

That's about ... 2 streets away from my place :cheers

[old mate]

Couldn't help but notice the amount of boats connecter to pontoons floating down the river, I was standing at the mouth of oxley creek for 5mins and 3 boats went pass and 12 pontoons.

[bigtez]

Did it work?

Edit: No it didn't, so heres the link

Edit again: So now it works, stoopid pooter.

I lost my Pajero to the flood crisis today :woohoo: It was parked in the car park at the fire station whilst I was out helping others in desperate need. Never seen water rise so fast or so high, and my job took me to some pretty impressive rescue sites

this is not the Brisbane river just a storm water run off area that connects to the creek beside goodna boat ramp .

the water was just under the bridge on the way in .so i hurried the mrs and kids along as didn't want to get stuck,the water was level with the bridge and lapping the road on the way out .

Mills street Park Goodna.

had to drive through more water to get out .then we went home,too unsafe to be out i reckon .

these where taken by friends about 5 pm ish today .

gales caravan park

i drove through water here only 4 hrs before these pictures .

and that why i wanted to get out of there in a hurry at 1 pm ish ,u could tell the water was coming up and the area was going to go under soon .

Sorry to hear about the Pajero mate. That really sucks.

[tomca]

Had to take the long way round to work this morning. 5 minute trip took 50 minutes. Ippy Mwy at oxley looking down from Blunder Rd

moved all the vehicles to higher ground this morning and found this as I come down the driveway to go home

[goldnugget]

Bummer on the Pajero (qfrs insurance?)...My sister/brother inlaw and her family of 3 littlies were going to leave their home at RiverHills this morning based on what media were saying, but we told them to get out last night at nightfall and not to wait...when they checked the house at 8 am this morning it was almost up to the second level. Glad we made that call to them, now we know they are safe.:ohmy:

[billp]

Unbelievable photos guys, it is truely a disater zone.

Will be interesting to see if the yanks help us out or not like we do during their disaters.

I would imagine the bill would be well over the billion mark by now. :ohmy:
