There's MORE bad flooding just west of Brisbane in Toowoomba. The water rose 2 meters in 20 minutes, catching many people off guard. It was like a tsunami sweeping through the city. In fact, that's what they're calling it. It's an extreme event.
We're south of Brisbane now, about 4 hours and heading further south and east today, opposite Newcastle on the coast in a place called Solider's Point. I hear they have sun... So while it's raining a bit here, we're okay.
While normally we wouldn't let weather affect our pleasure too much, it has rained a bit on many the days we have been in Australia. Often that made no difference, and when we were north it's a tropical rain which is warm and not even unpleasant, just like in the Caribbean.
Glad to know that you just missed it again!! we heard of the flooding getting worse in Toowoomba since the last time you wrote. Mother borrowed my Atlas(the big one)to see how far away you were from Toowoomba & Newcastle. We can see that you went a considerable distance southwards of the flooded area and aren't in any danger. We are glad to see that!!
