I'm sure most of y'all have seen the news about "biblical" flooding they are having in the Queensland area of Australia...I hope Paul and our other members down under are OK...please keep these and all others in your prayers and thoughts......................

Hey MJ, I'm way down South, away from all that stuff. Reiner,Aussie Teardrop Campers, is in Brisbane but he's only getting wet, not flooded.
Thanks for the thoughts, though. It's horrific up there.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Since water flows downhill, this was destined to happen sooner or later. ;)

I do hope that all those affected are able to recover as quickly as possible.

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

Just so you all know, Australia recorded it's third wettest Year on record last year. That comes straight after the longest drought(14 years) that we have experienced since white settlement. Go figure.

This is nothing to do with our normal "wet" season Arne. This thing is killing people daily. Brisbane, capital of Queensland, is under threat as I type this. It's unbelievable.
Cheers
