A bit wet

Really wet here now, luckily our creek has only risen about another foot from the previous picture :eek:

Did manage to wade through in the County to collect boys from school, our phone's out too but the computer is still working :confused:

I'm working in the garage building a stable for my neighbour today, water is just 100 mm from coming inside. Good job the house is on stumps ;)

Here's a pic of our drive :D I think if I don't laugh I'll cry. Can't imagine what it's going to look like when it subsides. Funny thing is at 7.15 this morning the creek was at it's normal height, now it's at least 8 feet higher. Too deep even for the County to cross.

WOW! :o :eek: Any fish in there? :D

That is so that they can sell it back to us, who gave it to them in the first place.

Thank god something went right---- I'am down south and it's sunny

things are drying out a bit here now, we had flood warnings in bathurst and the river rose up a fair way during a week or two of heavy rain. Had to close the road with the low level bridge on it, water was touching the bottom, its normally 4m below the underside of the bridge.

Orange had a similar problem, they have been on severe water restrictions for years, then all of a sudden there is to much water flowing over the dam and they are worried about down stream flooding, goes from one extreme to another.
