Another friend of mine can't find her Mother, she's in her late 80's, they know her house is gone, but she's nowhere to be found as yet.
Has anybody heard from Dave, I tried his number a few times, without any success. I hope he and his dogs are safe and Ok!
Found out last night, my friends Mum was not one of the lucky ones.

They say this will touch most of us in some way.
Very sad.

So many sad stories, I feel the pain.

Just so much to comprehend the sheer size makes my head hurt sorry to hear of your friends loss Tez and all the loss for that matter it's heart braking, but we as riders can and should do something even a ride out (when we can)to our favourite town to support or maybe some physical work as it is needed. Until we get there we wont know how much we can offer apart from the obvious cash.
Looks like we are in for another shocking day tonight, tomorrow and next few days.
Take care everyone and that means us city slickers too.
The wind is going to be pretty bad they say.
Batten down the hatches.
I just went around the house.

Cooler weather and rain. Please God it is over. Counting losses will be a heartbreaker for all Australians.
Good weather, good woman, good road, good bike, good-bye!!
Well it didn't happen.
All good.
I think we may be coming to the end for this year.
