IT'S RAINING AGAIN

On the Embarrassment thread if you can find it--I cant find it-- I posted pictures of my drive after some rain--less rain than we have recently had-- fun in the mud driving up and down our drive each day.

Had the same problem. Found it lurking in the 'soapbox'.

Deano:)

I hope all you guys that don't normally drive through water have checked your diff/gearbox/t-box breathers... sounds like you have a bit of wading going on over there... ;)

Well, made it home today. Only real problem was that the crossing at Comobella on the Wellington-Dunedoo road was closed due to damage - pity they did not put a sign at Wellington.

Went through Dubbo instead. Wheeler's lane is not standing up well to carrying all the Newell Highway traffic! It has gone completely to pieces opposite Heyer Ford, and is being rebuilt, cutting it down to one lane northbound.

Strange how things come back, looks like these floods are now (already) surpassed the 1974 floods as well there would be a lot more assets at risk 37 years down the track.

If the local councils allowed to build there it will be a disaster of major implications if the gates of the dam have to be open like in the 70's :eek:

The thing is, like Brisbane this WILL happen sometime down the track. It's been a long time since the Hawksbury/Nepean experienced a major flood. This time however there will be probably thousands affected.
