OMG i have never seen so much water *L* While we are safe from flooding unfortunately for some this is not the case. A warning has come out to not do any uneccessary travelling as many roads are dangerous with water or completely impassable

QLD is in for a VERY wet time.

We have a small river flowing down one side of the house (just runoff not an actual river) and we had to dig a channel through our carport to release more water from the backyard. The water just cannot run away quick enough. Our rainwater tank is majorily overflowing for the 1st time since we moved here. The water is that deep in the yard it is mucking with our waterpipes, causing backflows of air to burst through the inside sinks.

We have an open water drain running past our front fence and it is full to the point it is covering nearly half the road as well. It is bin day, so we put the bin out for collection and the force of the water was moving it down the street *L* (240litre bin, chockers and heavy as) AND the rain is getting heavier!

Once i've got some batteries, i hope to get some pics, it is unreal!

Houseboats were popular once!!

True, but I don't think they were made out of a two story executive three bedroom house.
