It doesn't look good for any vaccies trying to drive back to sites in central qld from Bris. In an attempt to have a car at site, so I can escape camp in the next 1.5months, I am planning on flying to Townsville, borrowing a car, then driving down to Moranbah. At the moment those roads aren't cut, whereas the ones heading north from Brisbane (around Rocky, Childers, etc) are. I'm just hoping that those roads stay open....
Our camp is about 30min drive (I guess about 40km) outside of Moranbah, so without a car, you are a bit trapped. Some of the boys called the cabs for a quote. It was in excess of $200.
The problems the floods are causing are pretty full on. I know suffering damage to property is never nice, but it's pretty depressing around Christmas. There has been a lot of crops lost by farmers as well, which cannot be insured like contents. I think they are the ones that suffer the most financially.
About Me
- andy
- I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)
