“Dear Mr Pottinger.

On behalf of the City of Brisbane and surrounding South East of
Queensland we would like to extend our appreciation for your efforts
in guiding the precipertation with you in your travels to Brisbane.

Now that our dams have returned to the 40% mark and our roads and
houses have been flash flooded we kindly ask that you return to the
southern states and take your rain with you. Thank you for your
generosity..

Kind Regards,

The lord Mayor of Brisbane”
