Stay safe on your mountain - I heard Maleny mentioned and can't bear to think what may be happening in your town and surrounds. Beautiful Qld is fully in my thoughts at the moment.

We are thinking of you all and keeping our fingers crossed for some respite for you all.

We had another 6 inches overnight but that meant waters didn't rise further so that was good. The Library was closed today but hopes to re-open tomorrow as we have had a more 'patchy' rain day today rather than solid walls of water for 24 hours.<br /><br />There are 92 road closures in our area - from water or landslides/slips so we think we'll stay home! Best wishes to others facing the water north and south of us; keep the supplies up and stay dry.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-77860387930597878682011-01-10T13:03:53.912+10:002011-01-10T13:03:53.912+10:00Take care, Fiona and Barry.

I'm glad you and Barry are still high and dry, but your story of the book rescue brings home the severity of conditions there. I hope the rains end soon.

I've never experienced anything like it - whilst it has been wet for weeks on and off and misty and mizzly - today it has been heavy and relentless and still going. Sigh.
