All public transport bar ferries
was running normally, and yes that does include the airport. (Ferries
stop when there likelihood of debris in the river.) The downpour that

That sounds like good news, but it isn't over yet. Flood waters in the
hinterlands are now moving towards Brisbane. The Bureau of Meteorology

public transport and all venues unaffected. [3]
