Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Jo, I was just checking the news and seeing all the flooding in Australia. I hope you are all safe. I can't believe how fast that water is rising! Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts to you, Michele ( 23, spondy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 G'day Michele, We're good, thanks. We had our shocking floods in June of '07 (my car left its contribution of a fan belt floating out to sea somewhere). We're in NSW, smack bang in the middle of Queensland and , which are both flooding. We, in the meantime, have a bit of a mosquito and spider epidemic, but at least the snakes aren't knocking at the door trying to escape the water... Good ol' Australia!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 So glad you're all doing well. I have a friend who lives in Townsville who I met at the JRA conference in '09. Her sons and husband had to abandon their car and fly out of Brisbane this past week. They're alright and so is their vehicle. She did say there was a lot of rain in her area but no real flooding. I was sad to hear about all the devastation and the loss of life. I hope they can recover quickly. Take care to you and your fellow countrymen.
