I got from the valley to home (bray park) along old northern road with no issues, on the radio at work they were goin on about how the valley was flooded we drove most of it and couldn't find a road under at 12pm today. There was more water flooding the roads at high tide yesterday then there was today at high tide. Lets see if i have to work tomorrow.

Oh if anyone on the northside wants somewhere safe to store there car send me a pm, no chance of getting flood waters where i am. Well most of brisbane would be under water if we did get flooded

Success! Got home and house (and cars) are OK :).

Low level brisge is out, upper brindge is split-laned.

Both under water now... Going to go for a ride and check it out.

I live near the river, but im about 6-7 m above bank level it is expected to only go about 1m above that so im not overly worried

Sounds like its going to hit a lot higher now! They just said 22m on the TV. I hope you guys are going to be OK, get your important stuff out and get to higher ground.

Afternoon all

Work's fine, house is fine, dads house (where I'm housesitting for around a month) is fine.

Chermside closed down, only the supermarkets are still open now. Gonna head down soon and get some supplies in case the supply route is out of action for the next few days/weeks

forget the shops

i went at midday and all the bread/milk and such items were gone... none left at all...

people were going crazy, the softdrinks isle and chips were empty and the line to get to the checkout was over an hour at midday...

i heard on the news most supermarkets are closing at 4pm due to lack of stock and personal staff needing to leave...

i have drawn inspiration to download the old kevin kostner movie "water world"

5% complete already, give it another 20 minutes and ill be getting educated on what may be next week...

Petrie woolies still open and plenty of stock...

...unless you want bread, milk, eggs, meat, or vegetables.

Oh well, I have a loaf of bread in the freezer. NFI how old it is, but it'll do for sammiches for lunch :)

Pictures from the Pine River at the Petrie Crossing.

The bridge (that actually crosses the river) is way in the distance, past the "Petrie Mill" and speed limit signs visible in some pictures.

And a vid:

What's the road closures like?

I need to get to Nudgee tomorrow at 11....

Might have to look up the locacl council websites in the morning and find some open roads

Yeah not worth going anywhere.

I luckily work 5 minutes from where I live, and there's no creeks between those two points hahahaha

Just got home from work. Had to go back and sandbag the office and get all the files and computers out of there. I'm still in tomorrow at 6:30 though lol. See how we go tomorrow. My mate has had a look at the map and found that our place is right on the edge of the floodwaters so i might need a place to store the car lol.

try get in, but if water is on the road don't bother.

That's what she said.

You can leave it here if you want ;)

Yeah Colin, the inner west will be rooted if it goes 70's spec. Move your car if you can.

We all have to go in at 8 to lay tarps and put down more sandbags. I'm wondering if I'll be able to even get there if Kedron Brook keeps rising...

The call for work tomorrow is, try get in, but if water is on the road don't bother.

You have a bucket of water ready to splash on the driveway.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
