We live in Queensland and this past week we were playing the wait and worry game as we wondered if the threatening flood would reach our house. Luckily it didn't and we thank God that our family was kept safe and sound.
But it all really hits home when you walk out the front door onto the street and you can see flood waters just a few metres away.
Your heart breaks for those at the end of the street and you thank your lucky stars the waters didn't get any higher. They were predicting flood waters of over 21 metres here in Ipswich, thankfully they only peaked at 19.4m but still higher than the floods that hit Ipswich and Brisbane in 1974.
Watching it on the tv doesn't even begin to show how people are really hurting around here but hopefully as the community pulls together we will heal and overcome this summer of natural disaster.
On a lighter note here are few pages I managed to get done since the floods:
This one and the next one were done before the flood just haven't had time to post :)
