Update on the Ipswich Floods
We were at the Riverlink Shopping center on the bank of the Bremer river [ipswich river].
On the opposite bank is a parklands with bbq's ruverwalks etc...GONE....
This Shot shows the river longways,ON the RIGHT you can see the roof that was over the bbq's and downstream slightly 3- 3meter high lights
Now,here a closeup you might be able to see the 3 meter roof n lights better.
NOW,normally the bbq's are easily 3m Above the river,maybe more so that suggests a 6m flood
Now LASTLY here the Bremer River outside my home,Our Street in literally on the riverbank,BUT im on the other side of the road so we're on the river but on the highside as we're on a hill.
NORMALLY this camera angle shot you Cannot see water at all,zero.its that far down the hill its not visible.
Here it is this afternoon 27/12/10.
.
Now having showed you these shots of todays floods weve still got another 10 days flooding still coming we're told
Cheers Rod
PS ive got a radio scanner,the SES are chasing 3 guys each on tubes holding hands so they dont get seperated.
A FATHER was standing on the riverbank watching his preteenage kids swimming in the swirling white water!!!!!
At RiverLink the ses are chasing a loose boat pontoon downstream.
Its all here Folks..
If anyone in the area wants the SES freqs lets know.
