Today we drove to Toowoomba to have lunch at my parents and drop off camping stuff, and to start catching up on news. My parents had water through their house from the deluge that caused the flash flooding in both Toowoomba and the Lockyer valley, but it was not of a serious nature. My sister was cut off for 5 days at her place near Helidon in the Lockyer valley, no water in her place but the creek that surrounds her place has cliffs gouged out around it now! She had twigged to their being a lot of rain coming and had already dealt with the road to her place being cut by more minor flooding, and had stocked up majorly with supplies, including powdered milk.
The road into Brisbane was quite pot-holed, but basically in good condition, so we didn't have any problems getting back into town. We could see the evidence of a lot of water going through places, and was surprised that things were looking as under control as they were.
We surprised my family by appearing early, DS Greg had just got in from his flight home from Adelaide, and Claire was going out for the evening.
School starts tomorrow, and there's lots to do to get an instrumental music program going again at school. Tomorrow thai will feel as though it never happened!
