'If it's not a necessary trip, don't make it'. I'd most certainly cancel the meeting. I wouldn't want to land at Brissie on Thursday and then head into the CBD. It can't be that vital surely :blink:

Was just down in Auchenflower and saw multiple riverside house pontoons floating down the river. Crowds all around with police just watching the river break its banks in West End and Fairfield. The West End citycat pontoon is gone already. A Brazilian couple told me a boat had just floated by and a full table and chairs. Also said his home town of Sao Paulo was flooding right now as well :eek:

Hard to believe by Thursday it will all be under water. :ohmy:

The (large financial) firm I work for in Sydney closed its Brisbane offices today and advised all QLD staff to stay home Weds. All travel to Brisbane has been postponed, I'd do the same (cancel the meeting & stay home) if I where you.

Re: Qld Flooding - general chat and stuff.....
 

Yeah, we saw heaps of pontoons and some pretty nice boats without a skipper - one was still attached to it's pontoon.

Re: Qld Flooding - general chat and stuff.....
 

Stay at home.No meeting is that vital.

All BE-ers in Brisbane etc ok?
 

Just wondering if we've heard from anyone or is internet etc cut off due to the flood waters? I'm thinking of Jen1977ni who I know is in Toowoomba but I'm sure there are others too.

Hope they're all ok :unsure: :wub:

Was down near the river to help my sons old childcare centre pack up but they had all left already...so sad looking at it thinking that it might all be under soon....can't believe it still.....hope those dam computers are wrong....!!!!!

The whole street we lived in 2 months ago was already flooded and closed off by police :eek:

Re: Qld Flooding - general chat and stuff.....
 

First time I've seen that ... that's a decent reason to say 'Sod work, I'm staying with my family and thinking myself lucky'.

Jen is well, she is busy doing BBC world service interviews. :)

Brilliant :thumbsup:

I thought of her this morning when they showed the footage on the Beeb, glad all are high and dry (!) for the moment anyway.
