aye the old brissy floods, im not old enough to remember them, i wasnt even
born but my parents owned a house on the river near newstead, which is a
couple of k's down the river from goodna, anyways, my parents were lucky
with their home, luckly they were not hit as hard as some others but none
the less the service was impecible with the Police still being able to keep
the peace within the city, now i live in the bloody boonies where there is
absoulutly no threat of any disaster lol if there was a flood it wouldent
even make it over the Cunninghams Gap lol
SEACREST OUT
