A wet Sunday afternoon at Mako Mako Rd. and Hamaria Rd., flooding.

The sunshine coast ......... but some times not !

At the back of the job, the foot-bridge in the front part of the tar surface that was washed away.

A distant view of the slip

What is left of cages that were full of stones to stop this happening.

''Wow it looks so different" so the locals said,"Like we have been a way for a long time, not just New Year''.

The river shows the least damage (I think due to good planning restoring the shore and banks over the past few years ) only a big slip and a high area of fresh bank cuttings in places.

The road down to the river.

The new view as you drive to the river ( this whole bank stripped bare to give a nice river vista.)lane lost from the bank to the root in the river .....
