Bundaberg Floods 28/1/13. 9.5 metres and rising. North Bundy evacuated!

Pictures will tell the current story in Bundaberg. 16 helicopters including 2 Blackhawks winched people to safety from North Bundaberg.
Such a sad site and feel bad for those people that have to endure this all again. Emergency services do a great job.
We are all good including the Expanda in Bargara, 20 mins east to the coast.
Cheers Deano

Not Good! I was going to ask Damien (Warburton Caravans (Jayco)) for a Qoute on a Base Station Monday, I might need to give him a couple of weeks!!!

Wow Deano. When we were kids we 'd cross that bridge just about every time we were in bundy. It's pretty worrisome up there! H's school as asked them to stay home for the next two days and K's school had been closed for the next two days. Moreso due to the roads near the school and quite a few teachers not being able to get to the school. We went for a neighborhood walk this afternoon(well about 100m). The river is swollen but no where near 2011 levels. Most of our local damage has been wind. Most neighbours have trees down but no other damage that we know of.

BM I say the river would be lapping at Warburtons by now. They might have a big sale in Feb on muddy vans.
What's the story with the Base Station?

Hi Deano,
I'm in Bundy for work often enough, sad to see the devastation up there. Good to hear you made it through the tornedos unscathed.

Well I was in Bundy yesterday and at Warburtons Jayco the premises was completely empty. I bumped into Russ the workshop manager and they moved all 60 vans to private residences.
The Burnett river peaked last night at 9.53 Metres.
This picture was taken with Warburtons Jayco directly behind me adjacent to the Train line.
