Rain continues

Heavy rain fell again overnight. In anticipation, the shops damaged yesterday were sandbagged against further flooding. (See photo.) Today we had some breaks in the weather, though the clouds remained and the rain returned in mid-afternoon. The Bruce Highway north and south of Proserpine reopened, but the road from here to the highway was still closed the last time I checked. Neither the mail nor the newspapers arrived in the morning; Eric hasn't gone out again to see if they came in later. Update: The roads are all apparently open, and I just phoned the newsagent who says the papers arrived around lunchtime. Now to brave the rain and go collect one!
