Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that the library at QUT has switched back on as of this morning. I've got access again and things are running along smoothly. There is widespread devastation across Brisbane and the state. I've gotten in and helped with some of the clean up amongst all the writing. The response from the community has been incredible. Strangers were walking off the street to help the friend I was helping. We were fed by people driving round with a BBQ on the back of the truck. I feel this is similar to what has happened with my situation here. I've had such incredible support. People I have never met before have offered assistance, going well out of their way to help me get the resources I needed to continue my research. I haven't had to use many of the offers of assistance, because I have had so many. I'm deeply touched by the support that has been offered to me from all across the world. I want to thank you all for your support, it's moving.
If you would like to do something else for other people effected by the floods, please check out www.floodaid.com.au.
Also, If you would like to check out the extent of the floods, have a look at www.nearmap.com, go to Brisbane and flick between the latest photo and the previous photo to get a comparison (click on the drop down menu near the middle of the screen at the top). it's amazing.
Once again, thank you all for your support, it has been incredible.
