Floodzilla

- In Febuary 2022 a massive flood that beat all known records by 2.5 meters hit the Richmond River in Northern NSW destroying all in its path. 3 weeks later the second biggest flood in history hit the same river.
For the survivors, life has changed for ever. It took more than houses and buildings, it took homes, toys, paintings, photographs, books, childhood mementos and family heirlooms. Not to mention the whole communities that are now gone, the schools, the people and the trust in nature have all gone. Some are healing more than others, all are trying, but none will forget.
#Floodzilla Survivor 2022
Hi Ron. I am so sorry you had this happen to you too. I live in the Northern Rivers and helped lots of people move their belongings out of their homes and help move mud last year. Weeks and weeks of very much sadness. I’m lucky I live in Terranora. Higher ground near Tweed Heads.
Never knew you lived near here also. I bought your book plus some other items at a camping show in Brisbane a few years ago. Wishing you well mate. Words cannot truly express how you’re feeling and not anyone as lucky as me can truly understand. Thoughts with you King Brown. Ron Wilson.
PS. Please get some strength to look after your camp oven collection. Some of those especially the Furfys are priceless 🤗
Thank you for the kind words.
You’ve certainly been through the ringer as has many. But you keep going and doin what you do Ron. Shows true strength of character and hell of spirit and guts. True champion Aussie. I can’t imagine the pain it’s caused to you and so many. Kudos to you Ron. 💪🏼🇦🇺🤝
Hi Ron. Ive just watched Floodzilla and my heart is braking for what youve gone through. To lose everything? I cant imagine what you went through. My Mum’s family are from Lismore, Coreki, Woodburn Broadwater, Casino and all around those areas. So bloody devastating. Im so so sorry that this happened to you. Cheers mate.
Thank you, yes its knocked so many people. Words cant describe the impact but we are all trying to get going again.
Bloody terrible. Vic and SA copped it this summer.
You should hold camp oven restoration classes, every student gets to clean one of your ovens!
That was devastating to see. I travelled to Queensland in January and detoured via some of the flood effected towns and it was sad to see businesses in Woodburn and Broadwater closed forever.I'm sorry that this happened to you and I hope you can get your gear sorted soon. Stay safe
Thank you, yes its wiped out some awesome towns and communities. Onwards and upwards, its all you can do. cheers.
Wow, what can I say, I'm so sorry for you and everyone else
I was living in Lismore in the 2017 flood and thankfully in Kyogle last year when this hit. I feel for you, nothing can prepare you for the devastation. I hope you are well on your way to recovery of your home. My camp ovens are still sitting out on the exs block in Drake where they went through the fire, I lost a lot then too. Recently went camping and got fired up again for dragging my teenagers out bush and teaching them to cook. Enjoying watching your videos, and maybe see you round the campfire one day, you never know 😊
Thank you, I live in Coraki now so not out of the flood zone by a long way lol. Those fires were nasty, a very bad year that one.
Really feel for you mate.
Hawkes Bay has just been hit with the biggest flood in a century. A week later and I still have friends unaccounted for. ☹😢
Know the feeling, I hope they are found. It took a few weeks to account for everyone here because of the scale. I was about to enter a house expecting to find a body when I got a call saying they were in a shelter and was safe. They had been missing for a few weeks.
So sorry for the Hawkes Bay people and some other areas on the North Island in New Zealand. They copped it big.
Truly sorry you went through this mate. Much respect to your optimistic attitude.
That truly is a grand collection of cast iron!!! Would be nice to see it back to glory some day ! Until then chin up. I do enjoy your channel and recommend to others, thank you to a top bloke !!

Hope you were insured mate.
OMFG that was heart breaking to watch , great setup and to have it destroyed must have devastating.
Poor zombie cat mustn’t have too many of her nine lives left.
Mate. I wish I had something positive to say to help but I've got nothing. Bit of a mess, mate.
Where are you where do you live ?
Oh my f&@!ing god, that’s hectic mate all the best
Devastating mate, hoping your insurance company looked after you.
House was rental, been there 20 years. So nothing insured.
