Hi folks You've probably heard the news that Dalby is flooded again. As many of you know, Darling Downs Soaring Club is east of Dalby by 30km and has a creek on its southern boundary. We have already had one flood (just post Christmas) when all the private caravans and most trailers went under and we now have another. The airfield is completely cut off (the access road has been gouged out by a raging torrent) but so far the water is about 300mm below the post Christmas peak and a metre below the hangar floors. More rain is forecast for today/tonight, but the last dump passed just east of the field. We were trying to organise a working party to go up and put the gliders up on concrete blocks - but the Warrego Hwy is cut below the Toowoomba range and again at Jondaryan (just east of the club - by the creek that is currently flooding the club). Now we hear that the access road is cut and so all we can do is to cross fingers and watch the radar... -- Robert Hart [email protected] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au |
