We were quite lucky, the most rain fell further north of us, but then again they are flooded pretty badly in the Dorigo region, but the worst is up near the border i think;)
We received around 180-200mm all up, minor flooding;)

CHEERS TIM.

Quite a few abandoned gold and copper mines in the hills around Coffs, actually.
Daughter in Bellingen is flooded in for the third time this year, but she's OK as the house is high.
Rellos in Lismore are also flooded in, but OK.
Grafton was being evacuated to Coffs last night, according to the TV.
Here in Brisvegas we're fine, but others are not.
Brissie had a quarter of its annual rainfall in one day, so that was a bit wet. Dams are looking good though. Our spa is full of fresh water.
Guess I won't be mowing the lawn this weekend:)

Thanks for the thoughts mate.
Was out and about sandbagging houses on Wed. Stopped to lock in the hubs prior to crossing a causeway on a secondary (normally busy) road when a jetski crossed from one paddock to another, barely clearing the barbed wire fences as hit lit off!
Bloody hell, as if we don't have enough people to rescue.!!
Lots of people up here are finally realising why their blocks of land were cheaper than the surrounding high ground ; /
Stay safe all, lots more coming, don't be one of the idiots. Others lives will be put at risk to save yours.:mad:

All OK here in the inner East, except for those who chose to live on flood plains.

Yes, there's a lot to be said in favour of hills.
