Alfresco, I hate to break this to you but.......

QUEENSLAND could be facing a double-whammy wet season, as rain-bearing Pacific and Indian ocean weather events combine for the first time in 35 years.
The last time this happened was in the 1970s, when major flooding hit almost all the state. Just 30mm to 40mm of rain over the next 24 hours in the soaked 5554sq km Wivenhoe Dam catchment upstream of Brisbane should cause the storage to spill for the first time since February 1999.
Weather Channel meteorologist Tom Saunders said there was a strong chance Australia would experience simultaneous La Nina and Indian Ocean Dipole events. A La Nina and a negative IOD both tend to produce above average rainfall. The last event was in the early and mid-1970s, a period infamous for flooding and cyclones across Australia," he said.
"The best examples include Cyclone Wanda, which flooded Brisbane in early 1974, and Cyclone Tracy, which devastated Darwin in late 1974.
"With the waters off our northern coastline warmer than normal, we can also expect an active tropical cyclone season. The cyclone season tends to start a little earlier than normal and on average there are nearly twice as many impacts on the Queensland coast during La Nina than El Nino."

We're right by the river too!
It does look a long way down from our road though. It would take LOT of water to flood us, but you never know.
