I will not be flooded by the Brisbane river I am too far from Brisbane. I certainly feel for all who are affected and my prayers and thoughts are with them.

The shop owner gave my daughter the last bottle of milk this afternoon, he actually had to go to his car to retrieve it. How generous of him. The milk factories may not get milk for a month or so as the cows stop producing milk in such wet extreme water situations we were told. The trucks loaded with milk are held up at blocked roads could be 2 more days before they get through from Toowoomba. The Blackbutt range has had massive landslides and could be cut for up to 6 weeks. The only thing I would not like to run out of is fresh water. Had been thinking of you Sally. Love Kerry

I am so sorry that you are going through such a nightmare. I pray you and yours lack nothing. I have been watching the videos and they hard to watch. Too much devastation!

Phew! I was looking at a news report earlier that showed some horses worn out from swimming resting their chins on people's roof for a rest. Poor things. People were going around in boats trying to help them get to dry ground but they were just too tired. Very sad.

I am in Kallangur the other side of Anzac Ave from Murrumba Downs and have a supermkt at end of street, the same no bread, milk or fruit. As rocklea market is under water now...I will need to make some soon unfortunately I gave my breadmaker away.... Hope you can get somethings tomorrow. Hugs

beatie58 by beatie58 12 Jan 2011

My car has a tank full and just a little car does not use to much, not sure if we are running short!

greysewist by greysewist 12 Jan 2011

A breadmaker and some flour would be very handy right now, along with a supply of long life milk, I'd imagine.

beatie58 by beatie58 12 Jan 2011

Long life milk would be great...no vegs available so I guess if you have power frozen vegs will have to do or those surprise peas or tinned...
