No need, the flood was nearly at my doorstep and volunteering was easy, just walk down the road and start shovelling! What I couldn't believe was being turned away at some places because I wasn't an 'official' volunteer!! grrr

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OKo9Okri5M]YouTube - Brisbane Floods - Railway Rd, Fairfield[/ame]
This street is a block away from mine and all the houses were completely submerged with water up to their eaves.

The cleanup effort in my area (Fairfield) has now turned to moving all the rubbish from the pavement to the tip it's outta my hands.

Some of these houses now look brand new!! Amazing the effect a gurney has on dirt... Or even better, a fire hose, now they are the absolute bomb, clean a house in 5 mins!! As long as the walls can stand the pressure...

Weathers lookin good this week end, any news of the conditions through our usual jaunts? I mean nebo/glorious/mt mee/killkoy/etc... Last I heard there was considerable damange through nebo/glorious with land-slides.

Let's get a ride happening.

Let's get a ride happening.

Mt Nebo/Glorious is still closed due to a landslide , Mt Mee is in very very poor condition & Mt Lindesay is appalling so I guess we may be able to head Gold Coast hinterland way :thumbup:

I'll check what Kel has planned for me this weekend

[Humperdinkel]

Have a great day guys , i'll hafta pass coz my rear tyre is shagged waiting for floor stock to arrive this week :thumbup: Post up lotsa pics later

 

[krushnuts]

Great day for a ride or what?!?! Humps, you wuda loved it.

Those OSB fellas set a crackin pace, thankfully they were all up front to flush out the fuzz - I hung at the back and enjoyed every minute!

Some great roads - I'm looking forward to exploring more down south now that nebo/glorious and all that up to kilco etc will take some time to get back to normal.

Pics.

 

[Stimson]

yep, the pace was hot, my FZ6 was in the power zone all day, if you didn't keep up you were left behind and lost. There were a couple of new roads too, that Dulguigan Road near Tumblegum is eye watering fast. Make sure you have your ears pinned back if you do a circuit with these boys, they certainly use the power of their 1L+ machines..... just pretend your speedo doesn't work and ignore it.

 

[fz6jason]

I will agree, the pace kept us moving all day. It was great to really open the bike up!:thumbup:

 

[Humperdinkel]

Wakey Wakey fella's , its getting quiet in here

I hope you lot get busy while im away racking up the BIG miles :thumbup:

When I get back we are doing the southern loop :rockon:
