Musky & the Trevors,
This thing is heading your way.
Get your bikes off the floor.
7 deaths in SEQ and 1 in Lismore.
It's a stinker.
cheers

G'day olev.
Thanks for your thoughts. It seems to be mostly staying "the Trevors" side of the mountains. There was a mini flood here a month back.
So far this year I've had about two full sunny days. Yesterday was drizzle all day but mate said it was hard rain in Sydney.
Cheers

The SES told the neighbours that the water could get to their front gate .
That is 8 meters above my roof so the landlod decided I should stay with them Wed night
The neighbours gate would is 4 meters above the maximum recorded flood so we both thought it was unlikely .
It got to 11 meters .
Once it gets to 10 then the water is on the flood plane so the river goes from being 30 meters wide to 400 meters wide & it takes a monumential amout of water to raise a 400 meter flood plane up a meter.
Down side is the soll liquidifed so the bridge will be closed till Monday when the engineers do a measure as it is on concrete pads not beadrock.
The road to the brifge is spingy underfoot so it has washed out so will need some major work before it can take vehicles .
The other way the road is washed out at 3 other places when the creeks have undercut the road so we are marooned here for at least a week.
Musky would be in big trouble as the bottle shop is out of beer and the club apparently is onlly serving middies to stretch their supplies . ;)

Trevor,
My maths ain't great but I assume you are well under? Damn! Please keep us in the loop as you get back to clean up.
I am west of Newcastle and we dodged a bomb here.

Really hoping best for the Down Underers. Can you just try to stay out of the natural disaster news for a while? Is the flooding that much worse because of the fairly recent fires?
Really, stay safe.

G'day Trevor.
Been waiting to see a post from you. I thought you might get a tad damp.
A mate lives 50km West of me said he has had bugger all rain in the last fortnight.
We are going up to Newcastle via Bylong Valley today. Hope the road is still there as it runs along the Goulburn River.
Cheers

Down side is we can't get to the Goulburn swap tomorrow
Shane is flooded in as the dam runs just about fence to fence and even if he could get the ute out, it would never get back yp the embankment into his yard.
The put some cold mix in the pot holes this morning & the bridhe opened at aound 1pm but I am expecting the road to become untrafficable very shortly as the bitumen gave waty under foot.
Now I am a bit overweight, but not that overweight ! I expect to be repairing fences tomorrow in any case as the cattle are on the main paddock now .
That is a nice run,,,,, in the dry but if Rylestone & Kandos got any water the road will be a mess

G'day Trevor.
Glad to here you're OK. Bugga I forgot the Goulburn swap.
My boss says the best thing about Lithgow is the road out! I'm starting to believe him.
Left home in light rain that cleared by Ilford and dry the rest of the way, road a little damp in places.
Rain in Newcastle o'night but cleared by 10am to leave. Again roads a bit damp but stayed dry till 10km from home it pi&&ed down.
Cheers

Video on our news of flooding in New South Wales! 😕 I hope you folks over there are all doing OK.

G'day GB.
I'm sort of lucky over the other side of the hill. yesterday there was no way over unless I took a 200km detour.
Cheers

G'day Fellas.
Here we go again *ex* Hopefully not as bad as last time.
Yesterday during a heavy downpour out toilet backed up. Too much water entering the sewer system *eek*
Cheers

*help* First the Fires... then the floods.... Mate I think you need to come on down to Melbourne.. *whistle* *wink2*

Yeah
But if I moved down there I would have to become an passionately emotional ignorant vegan greenie forcing the world to save the planet
This one was bigger than the last
got 3" to 6" through the garage
Minimal damage as all of the shelves are 6" off the ground so the automatic rat & mouse catcher can get under there
Some stuff I forgot to shift got a bath so 4 hours today drying stuff & coating with Innox , double that tomorrow should clean it up then out to the stuff in the yard.
Mostly mower stuff
Bridge will be closed for a day or two more at least but can't monitor the situation other than looking out the window because the reading head from the gauge at Wallacia weir fell off so BOM took the page down
Got better than 6" today as did a lot of upstream so it will slow down the subsidence
Have not checked all of the yard yet as it has been bucketing down since 10am
The Macquaarrie Towns boys will really cop it this time as if the last flood was not enough
4th flood within 12 months
The tragic bit is the thousands of brand new houses that copped a couple of inches through them thus requiring a massive expensive clean up
How any government can allow high density detached housing to be built in flood planes is beyond me but there are 150,000 more going in over the next 5 years .
So these floods are going to become very regular affairs .

I'm sorry for you guys affected by the flooding that I'm seeing on TV. 😳

Am in south France, moving towards critical lack of water, send some rain over here !
