Amazing, I hadn't seen many of those pics until now. Our house got flooded in that storm, and I thought we had it bad until I saw Civic the next day. It turns out we got let off lightly!

I remember that day! it was craaazzzyyy! my friend was at regatta point during the day and saw a mini tornado form on lake Burley Griffin. He said that it picked up a heap of water and then split into 3 smaller tornados which then wnet over the land. I saw the aftermath myself, commonwealth park looked like a scene out of a war movie, you could actually see the path the tornados would have taken due the smashed trees left behind. Great day! thanks for posting dude
