    WET ! Hi Roxanne,
    Thank's for your concern,I think god is doing a major w/c hope he's using prime !.All the roads in and out are flooded but no major problems at the moment,we had another 200mm overnight and we are expecting the same again today.it's crazy part of the country in a heat wave with bushfires and part of the country with storms and flooding.

    Ahoy Dazza...a month's rain in 2 days I heard......I see on the tele, you're surrounded by water...I think between Two Utes Joe's boat, and my husbands little tinnie, we can motor over and attempt a rescue.....discus and children first

    .... in all seriousness, glad you're ok

    Hey Darren. Seen all the flooding on the news last night. Caught any Barramundi off you back porch yet mate? Watch out for the crocodiles that are roaming around to mate.
    I think you guys copped more rain in one day that we do here in melbourne the whole year. Yes it is crazy isn't it!
    We're here for a good time...not a long time

    Roxanne,Al,Joe,
    Thanks for your concern,It certainly has been wet here,lots of flooding roads cut.We have been pretty lucky.Yesterday on one of our main roads (ross river rd) a guy hit a crocodile !My friends in ingham (1 hour north) have not been so lucky with the whole town flooded he sent me a picture with his boat tied up at the back of his house ! Joe at least the Barra season is open for him !
