On Saturday March 16, DH and I drove to Ipswich (Brassall) to show our support for a friend who was participating in the World's Greatest Shave. We came home a different way, driving through the countryside right away from the motorway.
We went through some bushland areas and our journey also took us near the Brisbane River. In particular we drove through the Ipswich suburb of Chuwar where there is a very popular recreation area on the river known as College's Crossing. Except there is no recreation going on there at the moment...look what the flood waters did earlier this year. (and of course this area was trashed in the 2011 floods too!)
When I saw the temporary fencing in the distance, I asked DH if he could pull off the road so we could have a closer look. The fencing made me think that the facilities had been damaged by the floods in February this year. And I was right unfortunately!
We drove through Mt Crosby and then headed for home.

| Oh dear...that was a playground once...the force of the flood waters did all that damage! |
