As affected Brisbanites struggle to come to terms with the loss of their
homes, the state and federal governments are planning a massive program to
repair and replace roads, railway lines, bridges, and public buildings in
and around the towns and cities affected by flooding.
"We now face a reconstruction task of postwar proportions. That is how we
are seeing it, and that is the sort of steely determination we will
require," stressed Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. Still, she indicated her
optimism that it was a doable task, "We're the people that they breed
tough, north of the [New South Wales] border. We're the ones that they
knock down and we get up again."
The government struggling before the floods to bring the budget back into
surplus by 2013, is expected to foot 75 percent of the cost of
reconstruction, suggesting that each of 22.5 million citizens could be
issued with a bill of around $660 each, according to the Telegraph.
Australian sports stars have been helping to raise money for the relief
effort. Australia has not called for international aid, but its neighbor,
Indonesia, is donating $1 million.

Then there is the psychological challenge. Lifeline, an Australian
organization that counsels the depressed and suicidal, has reported a
surge in calls by those affected.
Still, most evacuees are saying they plan to return to their communities
and rebuild their homes.
In Brisbane, the city will be split into five sections so that the damage
can be assessed by local authorities. Their task is complicated by the
fact that the floods which began in early December, and have since soaked
and isolated scores of small towns are continuing in many areas.
