Looks like it will be to no avail anyway (Wivenhoe Dam flood
mitigation)...latest news is that BNE will probably have a peak in excess of
the 1974 benchmark on Thurs whilst Ipswich's Bremer River could peak around
22m...2m higher than 1974.......hang on folks!....Also, we too are very
concerned about Bill and Eileen and have grave fears for them , let alone
Abberton (which is almost certainly gone I would suspect....hoping that I am
wrong of course)...Our Burnett River in Bundaberg looks like peaking again
at about 5m on Thurs if we have no further heavy rain in the
catchment...this will again cause inundation of some residences and
businesses flooded 2 weeks ago...some of which have just finished their
clean-ups...Our mayor has just been on the radio suggesting that they stop
fixing things up because of the impending floodwaters....ahhhh
BillPS The sun has been out all day today here and as far as I know all local birders here are high and dry (and safe) |
