Well Dorothea MacKeller is once again being quoted around the place as nature shows its sense of drama by following a long drought which was capped after spectacular fires with an equally spectacular flood!!! For the complete words to the poem click here.
These photos (Below) include some from the area as well as some from Wattlewood. We have been relatively - no very - lucky here. Certainly a lot of water and it is stiil flowing into the now overflowing dam. In fact after a lonmg walk around the place today we have been surprised about how much water is still flowing across the landscape.
We have had 296 mls over the week of the flood event. Last year we had a total for the whole year of 390.6 so this last weeks total is an amazing amount!!!
The road just past Wattlewood - blocked by the normally trickling stream into a small torrent... and yet another tree across the road. It took the sawing up of 5 trees (in driving rain) on the way out to work and another 2 on the way back in on Wednesday.
Probably a better choice would have been to stay at home!
