Sounds like a lot of rain if the flood watch is for most of Queensland... this place is twice as big as Texas... that's a lot of rain


Moderate to heavy rainfall is forecast across parts of northern, central, and southeastern Queensland for the next few days, as a broad trough draws in deep tropical moisture across the state. Catchments across the North Tropical Coast, Central Coast and parts of the Capricornia and Wide Bay are wet to saturated from recent rainfall. Catchments along the southeastern coast, and throughout central Queensland are less wet but will still respond quickly to heavy rainfall. Multiple minor to major Flood Warnings are current across Queensland.

Widespread minor to moderate riverine flooding is possible across the Flood Watch area into Sunday, with isolated major flooding a possibility in the areas of heaviest rainfall. Rapid river level rises and localised flooding are possible in areas of heavy rainfall. Disruption to transport routes is likely across parts of the Flood Watch area.

Most important for this community:

Lower Brisbane River (for Brisbane Creeks. Riverine flooding along the lower Brisbane River not expected at this stage)

I would love to hear if there's any official advice for the major creeks through Brisbane, like the Kedron Brook, Downfall Creek, and Cabbage Tree Creek.

Snuck in a quick mow between rain today, so if we get a few weeks of rainy weather at least it shouldn't be too much of a jungle out there

Our workshop is in Rocklea so I'm sure we'll get a front row seat to any rising water.
