Now at the moment in Brisbane I understand the fools are not on the hills. LOL



This is true.

FYI the state of Queensland is 1,734,157 square kilometres. 3/4 of that (1300618 sq km) is currently under water.

To put that in perspective the UK is 243,610 sq km. I.E. there are 7.12 UK's in Queensland, 5.34 of them are under water...

Another comparison: Alaska is, at 1,482,970 sq km, the largest state of the U.S. Queensland is 17% larger...
