Sounds like charming work. Really good of them to come all that way. I had an interesting week. Nearly got stranded in my suburb (Collingwood Park) with all the bogans, with no power, if it wasn't for a 4WD track through the bush. So we stayed with my GF's parents for the rest of the week after the escape. My dad's place at Karalee went under to the roof of the second story. So I was out there as soon as the water went down enough to get through. No sewage issues there though. Worst part was probably the mud brick walls. Mud Brick Walls + Flood = A giant pile of mud and barbed wire reinforcing wire in the living room.
It keeps being said on the news etc but it really was amazing the people that showed up in this little backwater suburb to help out that we'd never met before. A family came from the gold coast, another couple from just up the street + many others.
