Queensland Flood Inquiry

I've heard a little of this in news reports up here on ABC when I'm travelling in my car.

I must make an attempt to read it - I read the Bundaburg Hospital Inquiry and was horrified by what happened and what was not reported when it happened. Odd things which should have rung alarm bells!

Yesterday and today have been about the Grantham flood. It will continue tomorrow.

Flash Flood, Warrego Highway on the range 10 Jan 2011

I received this photograph of the upside of the Warrego Highway on the range. It was taken at the saddle just before the last climb to the top of the range at Toowoomba. I was shocked.There was very little warning of this flash flood from the same storm cell which flooded Toowoomba (not the same water though as that floodwater would flow west from Toowoomba).

Imagine the deaths if this flash flooding had occurred in the night - as it was people were surprised by the flood in the early afternoon.

Tool

Just a tool.

I guess it's to show that he really is some kind of hero - I mean he worked so diligently for the release of the Australian hostage in the ME some time ago....

Do you think he's trying to pull a Shorten?

Noah's Ark at Lockyer Valley

UQ Vet Hospital has done a sterling job of looking after strays after the terrible floods in the Lockyer Valley.

Toowoomba, looking over the Lockyer Valley

This image is taken from the area called Picnic Point, it is at the top of the range, to the east of Toowoomba.

I have an image, but someone is in the photo and I can't use it.
