I imagine looking at the plaques halfway up the side of downtown buidings from the 74 flood and its hard to believe that the water is going to be at least that high again, esp since 2 dams have been built since then to prevent it.
As for Toowoomba, Its on the top of a mountain range for christ's sake and the last place you'd expect to flood. Unbelievable!
On a lighter note, I cringe ever time I hear Jullia Gillard on the TV/Radio being beemed all over the world as the top story. Now everyone with think that all the Australian woman ARE Kath&Kim clones. Look at Meeee, Look at Meeee.

Assuming its the same ian, thats the impression I got from DD anyway.
