As many would have heard through the various news outlets Brisbane, Queensland and large areas of Australia have been blighted by a serious of Natural disasters that have combined to make the worst Natural Disater of Australia's recorded history. As life returns to normal, albeit slowly for some, we return to work, homes are rebuilt or repaired, services are restored. Yet a month on and our beautiful city of Brisbane has been left with a massive scar across her heart. The winding river that we all so keenly rely on to provide us our rowing playground is still out of action, the devastation that she caused is evident everywhere you look.
Pontoons are missing, debris is still lodged in areas of the river that were clear to row prior to the devastation. boats have been damaged, shed life for all-most all of our rowing community is still just a dream with no return in the foreseable future. Some have found ways to continue the pursuit of glory and hapiness whilst others have been relegated to continue to dream.
