LOL at the kid wheelying his bike down Coronation Drive (one of the major arteries to the CBD).

Coincidentally, one of FusionX's pics is of the same place at the in-between flood level (it's on the riverside path just downstream of Oxley's On The River). Hopefully the path isn't damaged too badly, it's a really beautiful walkway / bikeway that helps people commute without vehicles. The webcam didn't show the peak flood level because it was at night, it was about a meter higher than that picture.

FusionX, post something, let us know you're ok, dude.
