My favourite time of year is when all the Jacaranda trees bloom and explode everywhere.

This was taken on the 11th of January (Tuesday), near the river at West End (one suburb away from me). My friend Helen is escorting her kitty (who had refused to come when they were evacuating, and Nick & Helen were unaware of how high the flood waters would get) across the now fully submerged street in a kiddy pool. What a hero!
But seriously, 5 days ago this was a normal street, and now in some parts the water is over 3m deep.
I WISH WE HAD A SPARE BATH TUB!! Or any bath tub really. This looks like so much fun.
[img: a black and white photo depicting two people floating in a flooded street of brisbane, australia in 1974. their raft is a bathtub and though nervous they seem to be somewhat enjoying themselves. all that can be seen of the houses on this street are telegraph poles, treetops and roof tops.]
gpoy in 2 days. more photos from the 1974 floods can be viewed here.
