Wild Weather in the West - Part 3

This is where the Creek flows...normally the creek banks up against our concrete footbridge...not this time though!



One of our property's fences is under there somewhere (see above and below)!

Fence...? What fence? Oh...that fence!















All the gunk that washed into our waterway.

Yep, seeing is believing!

Wild Weather in the West - Part 1

In mid-November 2008, SE QLD experienced some of the worst storms in history! There were hurricane force winds, rain & hail that turned ordinary neighbourhoods into what could only resemble a war zone! The worst hit area was The Gap, which is litterally right over the hill from Pullenvale. We had some property damage (downed fences, broken tree limbs, etc, etc) but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. After the Sunday storms a second lot of storms hit on the 19th of November (a Wednesday night) and I remember it clearly because Mum was in hospital with tick bite fever and Dad was on a business trip to Holland.

Below are some photos of our property from the Sunday and in the days following the storms.





Tree limbs taken out by the storm










These poor Gallahs were rained out of the trees and couldn't fly. So, to protect them we put them in our chook pen to dry out till the morning and then let them go.


















More downed trees in the bottom paddock.



















Looking out to one set of neighbours.

My cat Sebastian is quite possibly the most handsome cat I have ever known. He is the cutest thing on four legs and follows me around the house when I am home, talking all the while. Below is a photo of of Bassie doing his best Sphinx impression.
