Brisbane Floods - Final Chapter

And so, here we are.... The final chapter. I don’t know about you, but I barely slept last night wondering what I might say!

As I reflect on the events of the last week so many moments stand out. I am sure they do for you too, both professionally and in many cases personally! For those personally affected, we are of course thinking of you. In the office, I am not sure I will ever forget asking my team to relocate an entire computer room with 5 minutes notice! The challenge of parking a car or climbing 14 flights of STEEP stairs already in the past and yet only this time last week we were watching the water slowly encroach on our beautiful city and surrounds. Still wondering where it might peak!

This does bring me to the final chapter though. On the PLUS side, we can all be relieved in the knowledge that Wivenhoe is restored to its “normal” 100% full! But the opposite side of the coin? .... Last night was the first low tide.... While drifting off to sleep, I noticed it......
the smell! ... OH! Poor hubby!!! I shouldn’t assume!!! It seems our river hasn’t finished with us yet.... Air freshener anybody?
Yes – that’s it... The last Brisbane Flood installment..... I am sure we all agree - may there never be a next time!
