Youve already made a thread about this

Give Rodri a break on this one, will you? I'm sure with what's happening down there, this would not have double threaded normally.

I was just wondering when a mod would get around to removing the double post... considering it double posted yesterday...

I felt a laugh coming out but held myself back.

Lower than expected tidal peaks on the swollen Brisbane River has allowed the clean-up to swing into high gear this morning as Brisbane City Council works hard to restore services to the CBD and surrounding suburbs. Many residents are breathing a sigh of relief that the flood peak was slightly lower than expected and the river seems to be dropping faster than expected. That is not to say that all areas of the city are open for people to return to their homes. Those low lying and riverfront areas where water rose above roof level are still unsafe and among the worst affected. The flood danger is now moving to towns west of the divide as swollen rivers threaten to top levee banks in Goondiwindi, on the top of the Darling River System.

I must say how impressed I have been with the State Government Emergency Management officials and the way that they have performed through this crisis. Their preparation and planning has minimised human suffering and property damage and the willingness of the people to help each other both save their belongings and now to help with the cleanup in the worst affected areas is very heartening. I know that there are many tradesmen and volunteers in southern states who are either on their way north or simply waiting for flooded roads and weather conditions to clear to be on their way as well. The calm and orderly behaviour so far has been an example to the world of the true Australian spirit and ability.

Meanwhile, heavy rains have moved south with South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and the NSW town of Broken Hill experiencing flash flooding and rising rivers, with more rain forecast for NSW, Victoria and Tasmania today.

It would be remiss of me not to mention that, whilst the Queensland floods are bad, flooding and mudslides in Brazil have claimed over 350 lives and caused much more damage and suffering there. We share their pain and wish them well in their recovery efforts.
