How are the roads?

Is there still any road to get in or out of Townsville?

Looking at the Queensland Traffic App the Bruce is closed via Ayr and the bridge towards Charters Towers is flooded.

Suburbs to shortlist for rental

Hey all, I’m moving in with my girlfriend from Cairns to Townsville as we both have found jobs here. I’m looking into a few suburbs for rental places. Wondering if someone here can help? I’ve looked into QLP heat maps for crimes etc and found that Townsville city and any eastern suburbs are a no-no.

Wanted to ask how is Deeragun? I see a few posts/comments here from almost a year ago that the suburb has a bad rep. This would be an ideal suburb from commute perspective for both me and my gf. Any recommendations or suggestions about this suburb or any other?

Rental budget 500-550 pw looking for a good 3/4 bedder

Edit: we also have a dog

Is there any assistance given to residents of Townsville that can't get back to town?

My partner and I are currently stuck outside of Townsville in MacKay and are unable to get back into town since all the roads are either flooded or closed. We've had to get a hotel room and were wondering if there is any financial compensation given to folks like us who are unable to get back into town.

Anyone know any details?

So yesterday I booked a plane and hotel to Townsville....

I booked in the morning and then only saw the floods happen in the afternoon. I planned to go visit next week. Is it still viable? Would the floods clear and would it even be possible to commute around?

Replacement louvre glass

Dumb question.. where do you get replacement louvre glass?

I've had 3x smash today and would like to just get replacements, but not sure about getting the right size.

Not rich, going for cheapest replacement option, but I'm not a glasier either..

Ideas?

Pinnacles rain gauge (tech support!)

I think the Pinnacles rain gauge needs a bit of maintenance?

So...when is this actually getting better?

Most of the initial talk I've heard was that the rain was supposed to lighten up a lot by Monday? But it seems like the tropical low's movement has slowed down a bit. Does anyone know when we're expected to see some improvement? Tuesday? Wednesday? Have tried looking around the BOM website, but their UI fucking sucks.

I saw their max capacity is 180%, it was in the 130's just before 5am today. At what point do they start releasing?

Burdekin Bridge

If anyone is thinking of getting the fuck out of Townsville by going west, I’d do so quickly. We’ve just driven over the Burdekin bridge just before charters towers and the river is getting pretty high. There’s no rainfall here tho so who knows👍
