Although this water way was harmless, it just shows how quickly it can rise.

also speciallly never cross it when it is rising we have video here off our creek flowing normally then no joke a wave of water comes down normally its gradually but this one time was a wave

The Ovens River is up but Landslides were the first obstacle for me this morning on the way to Albury.


Deluge blocks Great Alpine Rd, but ski slopes are still rebounding after spate of bad weather | Herald Sun


HEAVY rain has triggered a landslide in northeast Victoria and closed part of the Great Alpine Road.

A VicRoads spokeswoman says road crews have removed over 100 tonnes of material and hope to have the road which leads to the Mt Hotham ski resort open again later today.

The landslide closed part of the road between Porepunkah and Bright with traffic diverted along the Porepunkah back road.

The alpine region, about 300km northeast of Melbourne, has been drenched with over 50mm of rain in some parts in the past 24 hours.
