Nice video but the all those cars driving on the wrong side of the road was distracting.

Nice work. Although the area suffered flooding that took the bridge away is the water level low at the moment? It looks like it.

Nice one Geofff, water still down though as I see there's more heading your way.

Yes, more rain forecast, maybe not a lot but soils are still wet so won't take much rate to flow into the river.

Yes, water level is low, possibly a little above average flow. Streambank erosion is widespread across the whole region.

What a mess haha, I drive past it most days on my way to work.
I’m at mount crosby.

Looks like a lot of work to do.

I've never driven out that way when up there, must do it sometime, lots of interesting looking spots along the Brisbane River up to Wivenhoe.
Easy to see how it can bank up and flood, quite the bendy river that one.

Just spoke to a brother up there, more rain now 6mm, and it's puddling straight away as the ground is still saturated after abut 2 weeks since last decent fall.

I'm back up next Wed for a few weeks, so will see if I can borrow a decent car (4WD) and make a day drive up that way.
That is if it's not raining !!

It was a popular coffee spot. Council is slowly getting it done but will be a while yet before we can enjoy it again. I see the car has been removed below the bridge.

Haha. Yea i thought that was going to be a permanent fixture
