Brisbane CBD
Where I live, Hervey Bay, we have been somewhat in the middle of it all. Rockhampton is 4 hours north of us. Bundaberg, just an hour north. Maryborough (30 minutes away) also experienced flooding. Then of course there is Brisbane, 4 hours south of us. And Toowoomba and Ipswich.
Being in a situation of seeing it happening around us, it has been heart wrenching to see these people, and animals, both domestic and wild loose their loved ones, their homes and belongings. I am so ever grateful that we have not personally been effected like these people have. When you are watching it on TV, there is a chocked up feeling in your throat. You fight back the tears. But there have been stories that are just too tragic not to cry.

This is amazing.
