Well, more rain last night - a lot more. The flooding is a little more impressive this time:

And the next few are the main causeway:

Was only a couple of inches deep yesterday morning. FTO could have got out easy. At this stage will be able to get out again by Monday. Still raining, but supposed to stop around lunch time. No rain after this for a few days, so should be back to normal within a week with any luck.

Do you keep at least a month's worth of food supplies, along with your own power generator, etc?

Yeah, Im a good 30m to 40m up off the creek flat on my property and thats not underwater. Dont think it would be possible for the house to go under. The shed on the other hand is about a meter up off the creek flat. I think even that is fairly safe. The main river would have to come up a LONG way to feed back up into my creek.

might leave the trailer at home unless "spency" needs a lift
Money can't buy happiness, but it can help you look for it quicker, in a convertible.
