High & Dry

The cafe and the two halves of the caretaker's residence are sitting on the hill overlooking the still flooded Colleges Crossing.
Click on the heading to have a look at the pic from nearmap.com will did a flyover during the Brisbane flood crisis.
The flood water is still surging through the park with the Brisbane River Mt Crosby hovering around 15.85m
From memory, I think around we should see the road across the weir appear around 11m. As we now enter the second week of the flood disaster in this area, it will take a few days before we can see what damage has been done.
About 10,000 cars a day use Mt Crosby Road over the Colleges Crossing bridge, so to have all road access to Ipswich cut is a major disruption to a lot of people.
People can't believe that while the river is so benign in Brisbane at the moment that we are still suffering from flood waters.
