  • I’m not certain of Brisbane, but my family has a little farm about 4 hours north of Sydney. Part of it is floodplains (go under in even small floods) so we tend to be reasonably familiar with the conditions that cause the big floods.

    At the moment it’s not desperately dry, but the soil can hold a lot more water and there hasn’t been enough rain to cause run off so the dams are almost empty.

    There’s a bit of a downpour now and if it’s particularly long and intense there may be a small flood round there, but nothing like the conditions surrounding those devastating floods last year.

    Also for a lot of those rivers an occasional small flood is healthy because it helps to clear out the excess water weed that may be building up etc.
