Heads up all #brisbane #motorists and #bnetraffic generally. George Street has lost a lane; the mega demolition then replacement construction project on the corner of George and Queen necessitates a three into two lane bottleneck. Consider alternative routes for the duration

#Estate #lawyers: keep this table! Item by item: 1, self explanatory; 2, v. few pre-85 assets remain anymore; 3, executors are going to have less time as 30.6.2027 looms to make this important election; 4 & 5 consider after 1.7.2027. Crucially, the family home remains #CGT free.

Hayden and I at our first ever @cbussuper.stadium event #afcasiancup #matildas v #iran #wac2026

On this day 27 February 2022. This is what >1000mm of #brisbane #rain generates. The normally serene Kedron Brook, almost impossible to spot from the Gilbert Road Gordon Park bridge so deep down its bed is, instead turning into a raging behemoth all but flush with the road

I thought this was yet another of the many day citycats when it first looked into view this afternooon. Then did a double take as it sure is not a commuter ferry! #brisbane #river #watercraft #thisisqueensland

Lock up your pizzas. Thieves are about

When will this end? best the “new” bureau of #meteorology website does is a 14 mins old radar image suggesting blue sky south west of #brisbane to #ipswich. Compare the heavy #thunderstorm #clouds actually visible in that same direction above. Go back to the original & the best

First came the #lightning and now the #hail is starting to fall with that distinctive “whack” on roof sound #bnestorm #thunderstorms #thunderstorm #brisbane #thisisqueensland

If it’s flooded forget it. Signed, Hayden.

An ever so subtle rise in the capacity of #wivenhoe #dam due to the current #rain event. The system appears shifting off the #sunshine #coast, so #flood threat for #brisbane averted. Nonetheless do be careful on the roads #weather #extremeweather #severeweather #thisisqueensland

Hayden’s debut as an on field club mascot today for @grangethistle #football #club. Grange went on to defeat the taringa rovers 6-3 in what proved to be a very high scoring game #soccer #sports #bnesports #thisisqueensland

When two tall #barristers meet. Myself from #queensland and Bill Orow from the #victorian bar. We were both on the speaking bill for the @qldlawsociety Symposium today talking #trusts #wills and #estates #law and #litigation

#cyclonealfred hits #brisbane (spring hill) with a passion. Leafbranch litter is the least of the issues; it’s the brand new backyard swimming pool that 109mm #rain in 24 hours has caused that is. Thank God for sump pump drains. #extremeweather #cyclones #rains #thisisqueensland

Though #cyclonealfred may be downgraded, #brisbane tonight (Saturday 8 March) is windier and wetter. The risk being the dragging effect of all that #rain from offshore onto the #brisbane #river and Wivenhoe catchments. This event is not over #floods #extremeweather #queensland
