End of Day 3 of the Brisbane floods sees me mainly hitting two areas to get a few snapshots just before the sun goes down. I start by photographing Victoria Street in Windsor again as I had received a frantic email from a current Canberra resident who has a house on this street. She had not managed to get through to the tenants and had no idea what the state of her house was. It turns out the tenants were currently overseas and had no idea their hometown was experiencing flooding. On hearing reports that her home was only hit knee height she was extremely relieved and sent out all her best wishes to the Brisbane homes that were hit harder.
