Stuck in rural Queensland 27 Dec 201022 Jun 2018 So, here I am, marooned in Warwick, southeast of Brisbane, about one and a half hours drive. Stuck here by this: We missed getting through by half an hour or so. We may be stranded for two days… And no Internet! Administrative Australian stuff
Australian stuff Secular Calvinism 5 Mar 2016 Australia is one of the most secular of developed nations. At the last census, 22% of people marked “No religion” as their affiliation, and the attendance at religious services weekly dropped to 16%, from a high in 1950 of 44%.

Administrative PZombies in Brisbane! 30 May 200818 Sep 2017 So we managed to attract 5 local PZombies (Craig, you are in trouble for not turning up!) on a wet Brisbane night. We had some interesting discussions (which I fear means that others listened to me nonstop) over beer. It’s nice to know that those of us who are in… Read More

So you claim to have no internet, all the while having a 3G internet enabled device? I think you’ll have no problems being accepted by the philosophers guild. It’s up there with Plantinga claiming that belief in God is basic, yet belief in Ahura Mazda, Lord Shiva, Wotan, etc is not. 😉
The Bureau of Meteorology says the The Condamine will peak at Midnight. I think you should be able to proceed tomorrow after breakfast. The Condamine does not normally stay up very long at Warwick. Warwick trivium, this is where Billy Hughes had a egg thrown at him when he tried to convince the largely Irish population that it would be a good idea to fight for the King in the Great War.

Yep, that’s what bro-in-law did in reverse (went to Grafton, to come to G.I.) – though I gather the road did open in the early afternoon (from Warwick to Toowoomba). #nottoknow
Deep enough to stop even a large anthropoid ape. That’s deep… (Unless the aquatic ape theory is correct)
