Im sure by now everyone in Australia, and a great deal of people from the rest of the world, are talking about the tough week we here in Brisbane and the rest of Queensland have been having...Thankfully my home escaped, but a great deal of others haven't and my thoughts are with all those families, I cant even begin to imagine...
However, for as many horrible things we hear about on the news thankfully there seems to be two more positive stories to hear that demonstrate the Aussie spirit in full swing. I love this cheeky shot of a 'flood prepared' Wally Lewis outside Suncorp Stadium.
As an apt newsreader reported today; its been heartbreaking and now it will be backbreaking as the cleanup begins. But I like to think that as gumboot clad, broom wielding Brisbanites rally together, things will start resembling normalcy soon and there is no doubt this is still a wonderful place to live! Please take care and stay safe in what is still a dangerous situation, lets look after each other and make sure no one is left to face this alone.

Glad your place was unaffected. Went to help with the cleanup and was really touched by the comradeship - perfect strangers came in to lend a hand and provide water and homemade goodies.
Made me realise how everything can be gone in a blink of an eye, how I have placed my security in things that don't last and should instead invest more into peoples' lives, cause at the end of the day it's the lives and memories we share that cannot be rebuilt like homes and infrastructure
