Mate we did the fitout of that place sadly it only lasted a few months,something to do with the landload.Not sure if someone else took it on after it closed.

Tweed river banks are breaking

Most of the Gold Coast Camera's and "experiencing technical difficulties"! Palm Bach cam is working. You can sort of see sand at least... no major flood issue at the coast! D-Bah cam is working but there was sheets of water running down the perspex face blanking visibility!

Are we going to see this sh1t down our way or what ? Haven't been following weather channel. Halfway through season 2 of 'Sons of Anarchy' on Apple TV - it's that kind of day.

Hard to believe it is happening again so soon after 2011 .

Just heard Bargara , nice little beach resort near Bundaberg has been smashed by 3 tornadoes .

Hope everybody gets through with no major damage

I know you're alright Lacey...

In terms of Infrastructure Projects, we joke about "Build a Desal Plant, and the rain will come!"... So true! But this is bordering on ridiculous! Two big events in 2 years...

I'm not even game to go into the "Heavy Weather Forum"!

Have you got a convenience store or Servo with ice mate (fridge etc) ???? Might also be an idea to slip somewhere and get a Genny Lace - you can always sell it afterwards for good coin , very handy item trust me & pretty silent nowadays too

That place at Burleigh looked like a fish tank with the water half way up the windows, pouring back out the broken ones.

The place looked empty so they new what was coming by the looks of it.....
