Peter Psaltis is this morning travelling through suburbs in Brisbane’s south that were hit hard by floods.

He’s been to Acacia Ridge, where pop-up markets have been set up to supply fresh food to locals.

Wholesaler George Lathouras told Peter he hopes normal trade will restart tomorrow.

“We’ve got fruit and veg ready to go to the shoppies,” he said.

“We’ve just been told this morning that we’ll be able to get in this afternoon to start cleaning, ready for trade tomorrow!”

Mr Lathouras said thankfully, the markets have fared better than in the 2011 floods.

“It’s a lot better this year. We’re more prepared this time, we know what to expect, we’re ready to go.”

Peter told Neil Breen traffic in Salisbury is backing up as people return to work.

“I think it’s just a lot of people getting caught out with the various road closures around and going through areas they’re not used to.

“So they’re starting to get a decent build-up of traffic in the area.”

Peter later told Neil there’s still plenty of water on the ground in the Yeronga area.

This man is going to check on his house. Heartbreaking stuff. He was shattered seeing the volume of water. In the end he couldn’t get across the road. Poor guy.

“There’s still a couple of cars that obviously they tried to get through and couldn’t and are … stuck in the middle of the road.”

“Where there was water yesterday there isn’t today, so that is a positive.

“But in an area like this, still a long way to go.”

He later told Neil some homes in the area are still absolutely flooded.

“It just breaks your heart, Breenie, with what you’re seeing here at the moment,” he said.

“People’s home are inundated and I’m not just talking about driveways and garages and back and front yards here; I’m talking about still halfway up, some of these homes.

“It is just, as I said, it’s heartbreaking stuff.”

For those in Brisbane it’s easy to be complacent in the sunshine today if you’re away from the river. But this is the scene in Yeronga this morning on Fairfield Rd. Homes still under water and it’s expected to hang around for a few days @NewsTalk4BC pic.twitter.com/wTyHsdNIvG

Peter said he could see the waters starting to rise as high tide creeped closer.

“While it hasn’t reached where it was yesterday, … it’s a few metres off, which is a good thing, but still, it’s cold comfort for those homes that are still inundated with water in this area.
