The attached four photos show how quickly the floods happened on a farm at Helidon (about 40 km from Brisbane )on Monday 10.01.2011.
There has never been water on this cultivation before.

Lockyer Creek runs behind the cultivation.
The times on the photos say it all.....22 minutes between the first and last shots.

The farm is upstream from Grantham which got the full force of this creek, and another creek (Flagstone Creek) which joins into it just before Grantham!!!
