Hi Henners, Thanks for starting this thread, great idea. BUT WHY WAS IT MOVED? I had trouble finding it. Anyway not to worry.
Do you have any more clearer maps relating to the safe areas in Victoria? On the one above I think the dark green is LAND above water, light blue flooded? and the other color submerged? I think my family is in between the dark green and maybe blue area, not enough detail to tell.
I have also found this link regarding bag homes and also a community starting in NSW for alternative "Ringing Cedar" based lifestyle. I looked into the bag homes as they as cheap to make and transportable, can be filled with optional fillings; scoria probably the cheapest/lightest and best result, the designs can be changed easily; rooms, dome, roofs, etc. We found most designs are lacking in the roof area if you want to cover the whole shelter in soil. THIS IS A MUST for extra protection from elements.

What I am researching now though is a cost effective way to light a darken shelter? I do like the idea of bottles with light but again defeats the purpose, also looking into air intake and heard of a HAND Operated Air Blower but dont know much more than that.
Seeking answers to too many questions?? Good luck with your families journey. Cheers Pep
