Thread: Send her down, hughie!

Our house tanks floweth over.

Here too.

As long as the septic tank doth not flow over...

Iam becoming an expert at driving in torrential Downpours.
Last week 400 km from Avoca Beach to Nambucca Heads on the day Taree flooded.
Then Byron to Nambour same story.
Today Childers to Yeppoon worst of all because of the disgraceful state of the Bruce Highway and lots of standing water.

In February was at Culburra Beach and tried to get home. Nup Kiama bends landslide. Went back and tried Kangaroo Valley nup 2 landslides.

It’ s too late to hire myself to farmers. I am now thinking of charging road crews to not go in their area.

Mine too, which is surprising as I only have a small one 3000L, and usually I run out of rain water for the washing machine during winter.

Sadly mine are at about 20%.

It's interesting that Melbourne and Victoria simply aren't getting the same weather as NSW and Qld are - we do get the same heatwaves but this rain really appears to be a Pacific Ocean issue.

OMG. Gin Gin to Rockhampton. Absolutely awful. I reckon that I had to remove most of their pothole repair tar from the flanks and rear and wheels of the D4. A full day of soapy wash followed by turps wash followed by soap wash followed by chamois and finished with polish / wax.
At least it’s looking schmick now. Apart from the nasty scuff some **** put on the front bumper a few days later at the shopping centre car park.

53mm this morning. River is nearly 2m over the bridge, and about an hour ago I got a call from next door to come and pull my neighbor out of the creek through his place. In his brand new Polaris - apparently forgot to engage four wheel drive until it was already thoroughly bogged. Pulled him out with the 2a.

And about two hours ago, No.2 son rang to say his kids schools had called to come and get the kids because the town (Yass) would soon be cut in two, and the schools and home are on opposite sides of the river.
