    Rainin HEAVY here again, creek is startin to creep over the run at the other side, and theres thunder and lightning, theres also a chill in the air that suggests hail:(

    Oh yeah XXXX is a QLD thing, I'm a Tooheys man meself but tis fair on impossible to get in FNQ tis XXXX or GOLD thems yer choices, I should just offer a bit of cautionary advice, Powers, Powers Gold, or Gulf, Above all beware of Gulf, do not be seduced by its $24 for a slab, they are MUCK, seriously, its in that climate that you grow a grudging appreciation for XXXX

    I do. I stick to the XXXX Gold though, but only when I'm too scabby to buy some of the good boutique brews that are popping up around the place.

    On topic: some of my old friends have been heavily affected. One guy lost everything, house totally under water. My cousin's house went under, and while holding out in a caravan park, some ahole stole her car in broad daylight and nearly knocked over an elderly couple in the process. fk sakes!

    On the insurance topic, yeah technically those without insurance should not be covered, but in an eye opening situation like this, its humanity that prevails. People help each other out, and despite the constant recurrence of "Aussie spirit" or "Queensland spirit" on the telly, its not.. Its Human. People dig each other out don't they.

    The kicker is a lot of policys do not cover rising water only falling.

    Now is a good time to see what your policy says about it. So considering 25% (or a lot)of australians do not have insurance and a good portion may have half cover.

    A lot of people are going to feel this for a while.
