Description
DescriptionText of an 18 minute interview where the Councillor recalls seeing images of Toowoomba and Grantham on TV on Monday 10th January and not realising that would be the last night he would spend in his home. He talks about packing up his house and later making a dash back in a 'tinnie' with 'Pat the boatie' to rescue his dogs. On this trip he recalls the surreal sight of a half flooded phone box with the light still on. He relates that the hardest thing in his life was telling his wife and boys, who were away until the Saturday. He talks about the thousands of volunteers who arrived in Goodna to help. And talks about the fact that many people haven't returned to their same homes and some businesses are only now being re built, and how many people lost their jobs for large periods of time at all the business that were flooded. He hopes that the lessons of the past will be remembered in the future, when it does happen again. The floods occurred in January and peaked on Wednesday 12 January. More detailed information can be found in the local newspapers and media.
