Australian Floods Castle Fundraiser
Since the floods started late December there have been 33 deaths recorded and more expected as clean up and recovery continues. 5,400 houses have been flooded and another 21,000 have flood damage. Almost 6,000 people have had to flee their homes. About 90,000 kilometres (56,000 miles) of local roads have been damaged and that does not include damage to highways. A total of 97 towns have been flooded or isolated in the past eight weeks. Up to 1/3 of the entire country’s agriculture has been affected in addition to the mining and tourism industries on which the state of Queensland relies heavily. In the past couple of weeks Australia’s state of Victoria has also been hit by the worst floods on record.
CastleTV.net is working with registered charity California Browncoats Inc to hold some auctions and raise funds for the flood victims (Further Details coming)
- Powerful Flash Flood Video Footage
- Photos of Flooding

You can make a donation using this button. All donations will be collected directly by California Browncoats Inc. who will then transfer the funds to the Queensland Flood Relief Fund. Every donation helps so if you are able to contribute a couple of dollars (or more) the flood affected Australians will thank you.
