excellent idea Greg ditto for me and my wife we are at redcliffe on the north side so nth side is better but any where we can get in and out of is ok too phone derek 0418795075 I need to edit the above: After listening to the medicos on tv i rang my doctors, and they told me not to go anywhere near the mud and water, due to my compromised immune system which prevents rejection of my lungs, said i would probably end up in hospital with any number of infections. this is frustrating me to no end, have registered with volunteers qld and answered a call for bottled drinking water. rang salvos etc said they didn't need physical goods yet. anyone got any ideas still available as long as it doesn't involve mud water etc. ps probably won't be sailing in the bay for quite awhile either

so great seeing people helping out others! :) i would also love to help! i live on the gold coast! but am willing to drive anywhere to help out! phone monique 0435320088

The media just referred volunteers to here http://www.volunteeringqld.org.au/home/

just heard on tv that the lady organising the donated clothing at the show grounds is ok for clothing at the moment but they do need hair brushes and combs. this came straight from her mouth when being interviewed not from a reporter. she said to donate it to yr local lifeline salvos etc who then hand it on. so i'm off to the shops tomorrow to empty their shelves of these items

Thanks for the pickies Scott Did some flood relief at Jindalee today, I was one of about 50 picking up life long posessions and chucking it all in skips. Very emotional stuff. We could fill a jumbo skip in about 10 minutes. Awesome people power.
