We are still fine and have power. Went for a drive to Southbank and the City yesterday arvo and had to wind our way back towards town and round through Stones Corner and Greenslopes and up to our house through high ground because our usual route home was flooded through East Brisbane and Coorparoo. Kids and I are going for a walk to check out the neighbourhood shortly.

Yep - it was blacked out right up to the top end of our suburb last night so we must be on a different grid to the lower end I think. Glad to hear you guys are fine. Had a call this morning seeing if we're still above water for the big 12th birthday tomorrow night so hopefully she'll have a couple of guests now. Take care on the roads love and I hope you have a good supply of wine.

Still alive. No power here until Sunday. Road cut off.

Quick update: The flood water has receded here to a point where trucks can now get through from Brisbane to Gladstone & vice versa. Bells Bridge levels have dropped to a point that the railings are now visible so within the next few hours the engineers will be out to inspect before it's reopened.
I'm sitting here listening to the distant sounds of trucks rumbling along the highway, a sound that will no doubt bring welcome relief for many across the state.

Hmmm that might be trickier, someone has cut the chain off the plug, so I'm trying to prise it out of the plughole with a screwdriver........

Like your text...."Might be released on Saturday" ! Bet you didn't expect house arrest when you moved to Qld
Road is all drained this morning. Just need a generator now. I wonder if Bunnings will be open.
