FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Mr and Mrs Mahon have shifted to Grantham’s new estate, the high profile measure by the Lockyer Valley Regional Council to offer flood-stricken Grantham residents a new place to start life.
Mr Mahon and Glenore Grove resident Cec Pedersen read poems at yesterday morning’s commemorative service which held about 1000 people beside Gatton’s Lake Apex.
Mr Pedersen was trapped by 3m of water for 10 days as the seven local creeks swelled to become the massive flood that claimed 19 lives as it headed east.
”We became the sewer for the Lockyer Valley,” Mr Pedersen said.
”We had water that was up to 3 metres deep and it just spread for kilometres.”
Earlier in the day, Helidon mum Rhonda Hoger said exactly 12 months ago the family was fighting to get their cattle out of the creek and had 30 minutes to evacuate what they could from their home.
Her 11-year-old son, Josh Hoger, reckons they had ”five minutes”, drawing laughs from his family.
Josh ”missed” his birthday on January 11 last year, because the family was in an evacuation centre. ”Our whole property went under and we had a matter of minutes to get out,” Mrs Hoger said.
She said they held an official record for the flood depth in the Lockyer Valley during the January 2011 flood.
”The insurance council said we had 14.3m of water through our property.”
Later, Ms Bligh reflected on the enormous efforts of community groups and volunteers who were helping Lockyer Valley mayor Steve Jones to rebuild Lockyer Valley communities.
The final word went to Mr Jones, who said the losses were too much for any individual in the Lockyer Valley to bear. However, Australians as a whole had helped the community through the chaos of 2011.
