coach outlet stores report,Our house is a

Queenslander house so it's raised above the ground and we only have 50cm of water around and

under our house.

We still have electricity, gas and water but to go anywhere we have to wade through the water -

which is annoying - but compared to the poor residents of Depot Hill who have lost everything it

is just inconvenient.

There is a great community spirit with neighbours helping each other. The locals are used to the

floods but we aren't, so we find it a bit scary. Our neighbours have been great though.

We saw a snake in the water that is in front garden two days ago which really scared my 10-year-

old daughter, Mariah.

Everyone is preparing for the next 24 hours as it's expected to peak. We moved all our stuff from

outside, under the house and in the shed about a week ago when the floods first began.

Our neighbour, who works for the council had a look at our electricity box and said we should be

ok, the box is high enough and out of reach of the water even if it is to rise to nine and a half

metres as predicted.

It was strange the way it first happened. We live near a creek and it just got higher and higher.

Then the water came through the drains and across the surface of the land.

It is a sad tragedy for many but it really highlights the enormous community spirit here in our

neighbourhood.
