    Hi from Townsville. It’s very wet up here at the moment and even wetter in poor Ingham 100km north of here. A lot of houses just had the water go down and they are getting another flood of about the same height. In some areas where the houses are built up there was like 10ft of water on the roads.
    My family come from the area and all have been very fortunate and only had water under their highset houses. At my parents their was almost 6ft of water under their house. A lot of cars parked on higher ground have been inundated.
    All the cattle and wallabies drowned out near Normanton just breaks your heart. The poor animals never had a chance. There were reports of the stronger wallabies that were trying to get out of the water standing on the backs of weaker animals. Crops under water for a week and now possibly longer.
    Hopefully it stops raining soon but apparently it could be like a week before it stops.

    Floods in FNQ and drought everywhere else…..can we have some of that water?
    Personally I think it’s just part of the dry/wet cycle that the tropics endure…by being a tropical climate. In fact the low pressure system causing the flooding e.t.c in FNQ has set up a trough that is causing the heatwave down here in the southern states.

    All I can say is what a waste of water.
    If the Brad field Scheme was built today we would have an unlimited supply of water for the whole East coast of Australia.
