Updated pics as requested. Hasnt risen much actually. Havent had a lot of rain this arvo thankfully. Have taken from a slightly different angle. Looks a lot worse than this morning, but is probably only 6 inches to a foot deeper at most.


First, this is the causeway on my property. Over a little, but not too bad

Image

Heres the main causeway now

    As long as the rain eases, I expect to be able to get out some time over the weekend. We are supposed to get a little rain over the next few days. Hopefully it wont be too much.

      So has anyone else been affected by the floods recently? I know there are heaps of places on flood alert.

      The Cotter Dam burst through while still under construction

      Just heard about a fatality on the news in Braidwood, a man drowned crossing a creek. Apparently a 43 year old Victorian man.

        Well, I crossed it this morning in the Triton. About a foot deep still.
