Can I be the first to type climate change…
Excellent 😆
Actually this is not that uncommon. When I was living in Mt Isa in 1974 we had similar floods. We were isolated by road and rail for 6 weeks and the government was flying in essentials by Hercules. Everything was rationed and ancient bikes were selling for ridiculous amounts (petrol rationing too). The runway was disintegrating towards the end – the RAAF boys did a brilliant job keeping us supplied.
If I remember right, waves were breaking 200 miles inland on the Plains of Promise.
This was followed by some of the best grass for years, so then we got huge bushfires. I flew over one with a front of well over hundred miles.
Queensland is a big place. It currently has more land under water than the whole area of NSW.
