Around every thirty years, there are major floods somewhere in Australia, and this one is probably the worst since white settlement. Queensland and Northern NSW are prone to very heavy and prolonged rainfall. Unfortunately, the best places to live are next to rivers or the sea, or in the fertile soils of river beds that appear safe because they are a long way above the normal water line, so disasters will continue and people will continue to experience loss as a result. It may be global warming or it may just be a natural cycle. But one thing it absolutely, definitely is not, and that is a harbinger of Destruction.
The centre in Milton on Milton Road is the centre I thought could have been flooded ... but since it doesn't exist anymore (according to their website the centre still exists, unless they moved up the road, I don't know) gotmylifeback do you know why the centre is no longer a centre?
So then I think the only other centre in Brisbane (according to their website, assuming that the centre is still there) is in Waterford near Marsden, which is out woop woop, so it wouldn't have been flooded, or not even close to being flooded.
It's still lucky that my work survived in a suburb which was one of the worst hit suburbs ...
Ya, I agree all the cooperation between people in Brisbane is great, strangers are helping strangers, everyone is helping and supporting each other (except for a small minority of people who decided to steal from people who have already lost so much
).
I saw on the news the other day that there are floods in Brazil and also in Sri Lanka ...
