Couple of shots of the Townsville dam and a weir below the dam, the dam went from 60% to 240% in 9 days many people have lost everything in the flood.

Having lived in Mackay for 40 yrs, I love a good wet. However even I am starting to think a bit of sun would be nice, so can understand how you must be feeling.
The weir looks like Aplin, my son in Tvle said that at peak Aplin was 2 meters over the crest, wow.
An engineering thought is that RR dam was discharging about 700 cubic meters per second from a small catchment, while the Murray River at Hume Weir near Albury is estimated to discharge 1700 cumecs at major flood level from a vastly larger catchment.
Looks like no relief for a few days yet

Thank you for sharing Axle and hope you are going well in health and the floods
