Now for a wild and timid little animal like a wallabie to sit calmly in a boat with a human you know that they are more scared and thinking of survival then the nasty usually nasty and scarey human!

Snakes cant just eat and run, they need to separate their jaws and take a while to consume it let alone digest it and then regurgitate the fur, bones and whatnot. So not eating may be a survival thing for the snake. Wouldnt want to be halfway through the swallow and have to shove off, they cant just spit it out at that point. Still, they would bite as a fear response just the same so not much help to us mere humans. |

G'day all,
I've finally managed to get on here now that I am at home (briefly) after 3 very long days of work. This is nothing official, and in no way to I represent the Department of Community Safety, I'm just trying to help out. After a friend of mine became stranded at Albion going to look at the flood waters, I must re-iterate this message..... Keep AWAY from flood water, do NOT try and cross a moving body of water and DON'T try and be a hero, make preparation and get out while you can. Brissy is tipped to peak at 4am this morning so now is the best time to get yourself ready. In order to assist people with their flood enquiries, I've compiled a list of numbers and websites that could prove useful. Links: Very important links to many resources: http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/f...-1225986161515 Extract from link above: Contacts: - Information about loved ones: Call 1300 993 191 International calls - +61 7 3055 6220 - State Emergency Service: 132 500 - Road closures: 131940.qld.gov.au - Power outages: energex.com.au - Lifeline crisis line: 13 11 14 - Disaster Recovery Hotline: 1800 173 349 - Public transport: www.translink.com.au or ring 13 12 30 - To register on the National Registration and Inquiry System, complete hand written forms at evacuation centres, or visit www.redcross.org.au or ring 1800727077 Local flood warnings: www.bom.gov.au/qld/warnings Queensland police: www.facebook.com/Queensland Police Sandbag locations: www.brisbane.qld.gov.au Flood preparation and emergency kits: www.disaster.qld.gov.au Power supply: http://www.energex.com.au/network/as...erruptions.asp Extra Links (some are duplicates, apologies): SE QLD Weather Radar: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR662.loop.shtml#skip Flood Maps: http://www.facebook.com/QueenslandPolice#!/QueenslandPolice?v=app_10442206389 Rolling updates of flood coverage: http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news...-1225985436806 Translink (Public Transport) Warnings: http://www.translink.com.au/travel-i...ected-services Queensland Police FaceBook Page (VERY Current Updates): http://www.facebook.com/QueenslandPo...eenslandPolice QPSU Twitter: http://twitter.com/QPSmedia# Brisbane River Flood Guide: http://brisfloodguide.indev.com.au/ Red Cross (to track down family members or volunteer assistance): www.redcross.org.au or ring 1800727077 Centrelink Payment issues: 1802266 St Vinnies: http://www.vinnies.org.au/qldfloodappeal Traffic Cams: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Traffic-ca...tel%20%28South Traffic and Travel Information: http://highload.131940.qld.gov.au/ Brisbane City Council: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/#maps Please remember if you don't need travel stay off the roads, stay away from the flood waters and out of the way off emergency crews. Stay safe everyone. Regards, GSAU P.S. As for the looters, the Mayor of Ipswich had a very good take on it, "If anyone is caught looting they will be used as depth indicators" or something to that effect. This will also be posted in other flood threads to assist people. |

Finally got home from Rocky after some big days. Took the Fast Cat from Yeppoon to Gladstone 2 days ago, plane was 3hrs late to Brissy due to air traffic and we would of missed theMelb flight so we stayed there the night and came back late last night.
Coming into Brisbane there was water everywhere from 25mins flying away. Also nerve racking awaiting confirmation relatives in Toowoomba, Helidon and Gatton were all ok, one was missing for a while but he was out in the paddocks helping for several hours. Their daughter is in Gundy- hope the levee holds tonight or that town will be inundated too. Hopefully the rest of QLD floded towns continues to get the right assistance- the media have been going off over Brisbane now as its the biggest city, yet the worst flooding events and catastrophes have occurred in places like The lockyer Valley, Emerald, Condomine etc...those places are in bad shape and had large scale running water causing damage |
