QLD Floods

10 Jan 2011

Hey guys and gals. We all know QLD as been copping some really wet weather. And though we would love to share some of this water. It may not be shared the right way. Worse luck So far lives have been lost, properties some places folks have been told to move to higher ground and leave. More then twice in the last 2 weeks. This will effect so many including those not living here. NOW i know of a few members in the area. We havent heard from. Now I was thinking we could prolly do something to help in some way.. But will first check with admin. Let us know your thoughts.
