    We have had a stack in Brisbane today as well, Last weekend I put a 76 litre pit with a submersible pump in a low point down the side of our house it’s been filling up and emptying every few minutes continually since about 9.00 am this morning

    From weatherzone -

    A tropical low is heading towards the Queensland coast and is expected to dump heavy falls from Cardwell in the far north to Gladstone in the central region.

    The weather bureau says a low pressure system could dump rainfall of up to 500 millimetres of rain in some areas.

    They reckon you guys in Townsville are gonna cop it.

    Raining here now. Might as well throw in the towel for the year i think.

    No worries mate. Youve sent a few my way so just returning the favour.
    I only needed a couple more hours today and I would of been done. That said, some were still swamps from last weekends rain.
    To be honest, Im starting to stress about it. Funds (or lack there of) are taking a hammering. I guess its also the stress of xmas (family coming to our place for lunch) and I had to put down my dog last Friday.
    Just wish xmas was over and this rain would f@rk off for a while.

    Beer sounds great. We'll have to sort something! Wait n see!
