7.1.-01.20.2011 All the last 2 weeks, everything just turned the tide. Everywhere we saw the television footage of the creeks to huge 8m high "Inlandtzunami's" are entrainment and trees, cars and houses like straws. The worst was all this water was then on his way to Brisbane. To us all we had to prepare food, DVD's and of course covered with alcohol :) . Thank God it was in the end not as bad as expected (here in Brisbane). We're a little to the north and had no serious problems in our city. But in our neighboring towns, roads and bridges were flooded. What one really scared but doing is the fact that the Brisbanestaudamm at 195% water and the capacity was at 198% all the locks were opened. Thus Brisbane would therefore almost been razed to the ground. Now one could say: "They could have been before can drain water," unfortunately, the government zu lange damit gewartet und am Ende ist in der gleichen Zeit mehr Wasser in den Damm gelaufen als abgelassen wurde. Hin oder her, wir sind heil auf und haben jetzt dafür schönes Wetter.
Ansonsten wenn wir nicht mit der Flut beschäftigt waren hatten wir uns darum gekümmert unseren „Schulzi“ zu verkaufen. Leider war dies (und ist noch immer) nicht der richtige Zeitpunkt für einen Verkauf, da die Menschen gerade andere Dinge um die Ohren haben. Man kann sich nicht vorstellen wie viele Idioten einen anschreiben und denken das man so doof ist und jemanden einfach 1.200$ zuüberweisen damit dieser seinen „Abholagent“ bezahlen kann um mir später 10.900$ zu überweisen. Vier verschiedene Idiots had to respond to our ads (even a double). Eventually we found our car mechanic after only 1 day a buyer. Unfortunately there was not the expected wealth of the sale, but we are still happy. We had "Schulzi" bought for $ 6500 and had invested with the review and insurance again about $ 500. Now we have received $ 7,280 and are thus at about + / - zero (only our camping gear we need to sell yet). From this money we have our flight to Perth, which really only at 15.2. should go to 30.1. forward. What will we do during the time in Queensland - where the majority of roads in the Tourist centers are destroyed or blocked and no longer exist for tents?
got better as the weather went there to swim with the dogs after Mooloolabe (about 1 hour north of Brisbane). Unfortunately, the water was here from the flood as dirty as the Parthenon in Leipzig. On the beach you could see even intestines, which turned out to be as sea cucumbers (after about 40 people are still missing and the thought that one finds a "part" of the body is not as far-fetched). But you saw on the way the pictures can not even see every day, such as a shipping container on the roof of a house!? Furthermore, we now go every 2 days to a friend in your own private gym (looks great with 3's) and use it with his dog, Max Romeo and the in-house pool : was) To the nice weather to exploit further it Yel & Cam second Home mow the lawn and garden work there make ... now we know how to feel woofer. At 33 degrees I think this was not such a good idea. Marlen it was then in the afternoon blew with extreme heat stroke! 2 days later, 2 times vomiting and extreme pain but later it is now you better.
That was from the former flood area ... Best wishes to all of the bad weather in Dtl. ertragen :)
