We're Open!

This morning - the barricades on Mt Crosby Rd have disappeared - the bridge is finally open. Goodbye to driving around the Mt Crosby weir. The park gates are open and the Brisbane River is back to its old languid way. The Moggill ferry is now also back plying its trade.
The cafe is back operating for the first time since the 20th December, we did try opening on the 30th but, a wild storm put pay to that.
It feels good to get the coffee machine up and running and breakfast on the hot plate. The clean up of park facilities is now underway.
Showers are predicted for this afternoon - with a chance of a storm.
We are slowly restocking - a fresh bread delivery this morning - and we should be fully operational in a couple of days.
While we had to abandon the cafe, we were only a tiny part of the flood crisis in Queensland - where 200,000 people have been displaced. Our heart goes out to the people of central Queensland who are doing it tough. And, now the town of St George is facing a flood emergency.
Its been a tough time for everybody, but Queenslanders are resilient.
