I just put my name down my name to help in the Qld floods . I have a self contained vehicle and a few skills that might help, and am not doing a lot, so I hope that I am doing a good thing. Perhaps a few other nomads could also help.Volounteer Qld is the sight where you can sign up.Will post as I go.

After baffling months of being unable to start a new topic I've suddenly found my way in again (still no idea why! ), so thought I'd ask if anyone's stayed in either of the two Inverell caravan parks?
