It's Raining, It's Pouring!

We needed rain, but this is ridiculous! It has now been raining here non-stop for 5 days, and it has reached the point of flooding. The crazy thing is, I'm not sure how much is reaching the vital catchment areas to fill the dams that so desperately need the water. Dozens of roads are closed because of flooding, including the 2 main roads into Buderim from Brisbane.


This photo is just down the road from where I live, one of the last remaining spots of sanity in an ever-growing jungle of housing. There was no water here last week.


This is looking in the opposite direction, along the same stretch of road.

Mooloolaba didn't look quite so enticing today when I collected my son from work. The coffee shop where he works closed early as nobody seemed to want to sit in an outdoor coffee shop today. Funny, hey?
