sTuck - part III

greetings from Gayndah....
I am here by the Burnett river, sweeping away...
looks like I might be here a while....
am aghast, lost and feel helpless about rain flooding and water...
there is almost no words left...
just survival.
11.1.11

trying to keep spirits up after 11 days being either on the road, stuck, or trying to break through.
5000kms of road and looks like I aint going nowhere.
Luckily the town here is high and DRY.
Yet, am feeling philosophical, if the river rose it wouldn't be surprising.

Unimaginable...
driving through flood affected areas
has been incredibly affecting...
am feeling the humanity of this crisis, for everyone...
it hits me in the core...
the smell of flood is like nothing else...
when i crossed over areas of brown wasteland...seemed like the soul had been sucked and driven downstream...debris littered, remains of this serpentine mud mass....

here's some pics from me journal of the day
not sure it is interesting
just feel low, tired of it, no end in sight
can't quite explain what it is to be trapped in all directions

at least in this I am safe mu kids are on the other side
i have food and can still drink tea...
am lucky so lucky.
heart goes out to it all...

to be continued.....
