Day Five Hundred and Eighty

Brisbane dodged a bit of a bullet in the early hours, predicted high river peak of 5.5 m was only 4.6m in the end. This was a good thing.

We got up and packed up and head to the airport, no easy feat, a journey that takes 20 minutes took us 1.5 hours, basically a massive diversion round this...



The road to airport id the highway in bottom left of pic.

We also had to find petrol, we barely use any in the car these days and rarely fill up, typically when we did need to every station we passed was closed, finally found one with one pump running so stocked up

Got to airport and got bumped onto earlier flight, virgin were just getting people away as they arrived to free up seats for later.

Glad to be in Sydney for a bit, I think Brisbane will be a bit of a war zone for a few days.

Spent afternoon in office in Sydney and then had a nice Thai dinner in Willoughby. Tomorrow is wedding venue meeting.

Once again thanks for the texts and messages of concern for us, we are all OK.
