LOWER BURNETT RIVER:
Moderate to major flood levels are expected along the lower Burnett River from
from Mundubbera to Walla. Flood levels of at least 10.5 metres at Gayndah are
forecast for Saturday. Major flood levels are predicted for Mt Lawless, Fig
Tree, Paradise Dam and Walla over the weekend.
A minor flood peak is expected with the high tide at Bundaberg during tonight
and on Friday, with higher river levels with the high tides during the weekend.
The Burnett River at Bundaberg is likely to be the highest since 1971.

Thats the last thing u need, the almight wet season. Have just spent the last month on the house fixing roof leaks and waiting for the next storm in Sydney which did thousands of bucks worth of damage to my place , money which I did not have. Hopefully ready this time for no more damage.

Hope it's all okay with you guys up there, try to keep your backsides dry and above the flood level. We're etting wet stuff down here, it must be a shocker up there.

Hi Dave,
We are the big sheds beside you, noticed you have shifted some things to higher ground out of the flood waters.
We have about 100-200 mm before the flood water comes into our yard, bottom corner & about 1000 mm before its starts coming into the factory. Noticed you guys have some things out in the street, if you need some higher ground PM me, as you know we have lots of room in our car park & it will get things off the side of the road. In saying that our high ground would be only about 2 meters better than you. We have some big gear next door so If you need a hand give us a yell.

Thanks for the offer Steve but I think you might be thinking of another park,we are in Gayndah.I have been up all night had to move 3 cabins + 2 on-site vans and wake up and move a few people in their on vans .Water level here now is 16.5 meters and still rising and raining.
Thanks again
