Now the clean-up begins for the residents of Brisbane. Most of the water has subsided and oh what a mess it has left behind, soggy furniture, rotting garbage, raw sewerage and damaged cars, not to mention that awful sticky mud.
There are 2 cyclones forming off the coast of Queensland....let's hope they fizzle out to nothing so that the residents of all the coastal towns affected by the floods can get to work and make some headway on getting their properties habitable. The last thing they want now is more torrential rain.
The funniest story I have heard so far this year is.......
Mike Smithson, a reporter for Channel 7 News and currently doing a radio show told this story. He was sitting at Channel 7 on Thursday afternoon tuned into the police scanners when a 000 call was received from Clarence Gardens where a woman had reported seeing a crocodile in her backyard.
They got a camera man to go to the address to film this 'crocodile'. When he arrived there the police and fire brigade were just about ready to leave, so he knocked on the door and asked whether the crocodile was still in the backyard. "Oh yes," said the woman. "Can I go and have a look at it?" asked the camera man.
The woman took him into the backyard and the so called crocodile turned out to be a blue tongue lizard about 30cms long. Too funny!!!
We are too far south to have crocodiles roaming in people's backyards. To see a crocodile here you have to go to a zoo or wildlife park.
From the Lens.........Does this look like a crocodile?
