im wondering if many of you have been hearing about 75% of queensland, including Brisbane (its capital) being hit by major flooding?
a few of my other friends from O/S had no idea about it.

for those who dont know, if queensland was its own country, it'd be the 16th largest country in the world.
its the entire upper right corner of Oz, for the geographically challenged.

this tugboat driver steers a 300m section of brisbanes "riverwalk" down the river and through the gateway bridge, avoids several marina's.

the riverwalk is a floating walkway made of concrete.

Oh aye I've heard; it's been all over the news. Bloody nightmare, I can't imagine what they're going through.

I can only sit and watch, and hope that everything clears up soon. Brazil has been hit by devastating flood waters, as well. Bleh.

One of my favorite golf courses flooded to fourteen feet :(
