What a week....
Bubba G and I have stayed in all week this week and we have had the TV on all day and I have watched my beautiful home town go under (literally!) in water. Brisbane was hit by a natural disaster this week as the city experienced flash flooding. Absolutely devastating....as I sat in the safety of my lounge room, I could do was watch in absolute amazement as the city was ruined by the flash floods.
Luckily I have started to master the art of holding bubba G in one hand while talking on the phone with the other hand, as I have spent most of the week ringing my family and friends and making sure that they are ok. One of the worst hit areas of the city was the western suburbs where I grew up and I was brought to tears as I heard of all the places where I spent so many of my teenager years just flooded....Amazons in Jindalee (now DFO), Jindalee boat ramp, Middle Park, the street where we lived, our neighbour's house, the McDonalds on Milton road, Suncorp Stadium, Southbank, New Farm, West End, the board walk on New Farm, Ipswich...the list goes on and on. Will the city ever the be same again? Queenslanders are strong and in this time of sadness and devastation, people have come together to help each other wherever they can. I feel so helpless all the way in Melbourne but my thoughts are with family, friends and the rest of Brisbane who have not been so lucky.
Stay strong Queensland xx
