Queensland Flood Appeal Auction
Clarence River @ Grafton, NSW
The "Kiss My Serendipity" Dolls;
Tara, Courtney and I
have decided to band together and support the victims of the
Queensland Floods the only way we know how:
The Handmade Way.
I have been personally affected, emotionally and physically by the flooding in the Clarence River in Northern NSW, with my property backing onto the Clarence.
My family and I were at risk if the water in our river breached the council built levee wall.
Thankfully, we were spared, by only 30cm.
The view from my verandah at the time of the 7.7mtr peak in Grafton
But while we were faced by the challenges of the rising water,
I, like the rest of the country was focussed on the crisis in Qld.
Shaken by the sudden impact of the Toowoomba inland tsunami and
paralyzed waiting to see the peaks of the Bremer and Brisbane Rivers.
Now; the clean up, the recovery, picking up the pieces and putting lives back together.
Kiss My Serendipity is happy to be involved in the "Queensland Flood Appeal Auctions"
