Much of this area was previously swampland. That explains the numerous estates on the Sunshine Coast with canal frontages (and incredibly high land prices!). We have an extensive system of water courses on this estate which are designed to cater for tropical rainfall. With development occurring all across the estate there can be a bit of a problem when a water course is being redesigned or altered to accommodate new roads and bridges. This photo is of one of those. There used to be a 'road' here which provided access for trucks in and out of the new development area.
If you then look further up from where this is happening you can see the resultant backlog of water still waiting to get away!More rain is expected later in the week over Wednesday and Thursday. The problem is the rain falls on the Sunshine Coast but misses Brisbane's water catchment areas. Brisbane's dams are currently at about 18% capacity!
I still have not been emailed my setup details to entered into the router to enable our VoIP phone calls.
The salt chlorinator for the pool goes berserk whenever there is a shower of rain and cannot be turned off. It appears moisture is getting through cracks in the protective covering for the controls. These cracks appear to be the result of direct sunlight causing the plastic covering to split. It has been recommended that I create a cover for the chlorinator to protect it from the sun. I expect the warranty will cover any repair costs.
