Happy Australia Day!!!!

I know I said I would be back last night - but what a day....and then oh so hot last night and I just didnt feel like being on the computer....(I dont now - but I did promise...and as soon as I am done, I am going to go and put my bikinis (sorry to scare you all!) on and jump in the pool!!!!!

So here are some pics of what we experienced here over the last couple of weeks - it wasn't a very nice feeling I have to say...


This is on the corner of Brisbane and East Streets in Ipswich. This is the complex where Suburban Mayhem is (my daughter's clothing shop) and it went under up to thigh high on me. We managed to get all of the stock out - but all the fittings are damaged beyond repair. Dacynta is devastated to say the least....



This was before the peak of the tide. Lots of dirty, smelly, brown water and mud inundated the complex.



This is John (my husband) on his way to work on the Tuesday morning....The current just picked him up and took him out to deeeeeep water....







And this is a pic of Ipswich - The Bremer River - from the main bridge....You could not imagine the amount of water that was around....you really had to see it to believe it...although I saw it and I still don't believe it.

These were photos of my own personal experiences - there were many of my friends, and many strangers who have lost everything. My heart goes out to all those people who lost a little or a lot.....
