A free Queensland flood-gauge viewer that arranges Bureau of Meteorology readings downstream, so people can follow the handful of gauges relevant to where they live.

Why it surfaced

The site turns a wall of official station data into a saved, one-glance river view with charts, flood-level context, maps, browser alerts and a printable report. Its unusually careful disclaimer explains what the numbers mean, what they do not mean, and why a quiet gauge or delayed reading should not be mistaken for safety.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
