This is my front yard looking out of my Dining Room window, in the middle of the water our bridge what we drive over to cross and the water on the ute was up to the bottom of the step.

Who would of thought we would see something close to the 1974 floods. When we recieved communication of what was heading our way was the scariest thing, NOT KNOWING, whether we would be SAFE. Two nights ago we sat the three kids down in front of the television to watch the weather and to explain what was happening in our area. To go through our evacuation plan with kids of what to do and where to go, what to expect and the look of concern on there faces!!!!!there toys .....will we pack them now with some clothes.....telling them we wont be able to take anything and our saftey is worth more would we have time ....do you pack....do you wait!!!!Being so luck to still have all our belongings and our lives is something to be thankful for and we are greatful. The people that have lost everything and knowing some of these people are living in our streetand the deaths around....Sohopefully tonight we are able to go for a walk to our locals streets to see how much the water has gone down...
