These are not just "Brisbane Floods".
Major flooding has affected Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Maryborough,
Gympie, Toowoomba (really bad there), Laidley, Gatton, Grantham, Minden,
Boonah and many other small towns.
The aforementioned towns are on the eastern side of the water shed
where the run off is rapid to the sea.
Many towns and farming communities on the western side of the water
shed have had drastic flooding too.
Much of that water will flow down via the "Channel Country" and Cooper's
Creek into the Murray/Darling system. This should be called the
Darling/Murray system as the Darling River has the larger catchment area I
believe.
According to Sandra Sultry
on 10 News, this scenario is shaping up to
be the worst flood disaster in the whole of Australia's history.
My heart felt prayers go out to victims of the floods. I may be one myself as
my dream yacht was sitting in a cradle in the Maryborough Slipway yard
which I know has been flooded.
All of the flooding has been characterised by "suddeness". They have all
just happened so quickly that many were caught unawares.
This type of weather is something we on the east coast may have to get
used to annually.
A study was conducted some 10 odd years ago, by one of the government
agencies, of core samples taken from the coral reefs directly offshore from
the Burdiken River which has the largest catchment area of any of the east
coast rivers.
The growth rate of coral is known and the core samples represented 135
years of coral history which contained different levels of brown silt deposits
which represented annual rainfalls in that catchment area.
The official rainfall records only extended to 75 years prior to the study.
By comparing the official records to the natural records on a linear scale
the students/studiusts were able to determine that the silt deposit records
on the core sample were quite accurate.
The effect of this was that the people studying weather patterns were
able to extend their observations by another 50 years.
Their conclusions at that time were that Australia was overdue for about a
100 year cycle of very wet weather and that at the time of Cook's mapping
of the east coast of Australia the country was at the end of such a cycle
thereby causing him to report back to his royal masters that the country
looked "very fair". Upon this description of the country the royals decided
to colonise the place.
So it seems that describing Australia as "The Dry Country" is a misnomer.
The study I have described above was aired on national television.
I know because I watched it.
I doubt you will be able to confirm what I have related because the
"Global Warmists", the "Red Ranga Welsh Bitch", Wong, Garrett, Combet
and the rest of them do not want you to know about this.
It is just the same as the "Sustainable Housing Study" conducted by the CSIRO 30 odd years ago that I have previously mentioned on this forum.
You can't find the information.
You 30 somethings who are supposedly the next generation of leaders in this country need to realise you have been treated like mushrooms at school. Fed on bulldust and kept in the dark.
I am willing to bet $100 that within the next 12 months some lame duck politician, beaurocrat, pollie paid professor or greenie blames the floods on "Global Warming".
Anybody want to take the bet???

Bloody hell, we just turned TV on, what a disaster. Hope all you guys are safe up there in Queensland. Hope all are safe.
