A hydrated university


This is a picture of the University of Queensland in 1974 when Brisbane had a major flood. A similar flood is happening right now!
I don't anticipate any problems with major buildings and labs because the university has exercised restraint and not built on areas that were flooded.
Thanks to my many overseas colleagues who have asked after my well-being. Fortunately, our house is high enough we will probably only have water in the back yard.
