We are about 9kms from the nearest spot shown on those maps, which is Milton. The closest flooding to us was probably in Herston/Bowen Hills, but there aren't any pics of it in this collection. My husband works in Bowen Hills at the hospital which was our main cause for concern as our car was parked in an area notorious for flooding after any normal storm/rain. Probably the closest image to his workplace is the one of the Albion Park Raceway, which is about 2km away from the hospital. On the image, the hospital is a bit to the left and below what is shown.
Our house, thankfully was high and dry, but oh, wow, you should see the mess over on the Southside. We have been over to assist with volunteering in the Goodna/Ipswich area these past few days and it is heartbreaking, and the stench is unbearable. We are so blessed not to be living in that right now!

John - the thing about yours was (only in terms of understanding how bad the flooding was) that if you didn't know what the area looked like before - you couldn't tell (in some of them) just how deep the water was or how much wider a river was than before... the breaking of the river walk , therefore, stood out strongly as one of the best of the photos to get the story across. ann > >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of >Brian Walters >Sent: Friday, 14 January 2011 3:46 PM >To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List >Subject: Re: Brisbane Floods > >Thanks John, > >First hand news is always the best. > >We passed though Brisbane last year - only there for half a day on our >way north and were mainly around the Art Gallery and South Bank.
