It's very overcast in our neck of the woods too. Northwestern NSW Baradine. Heavy downpours during the night. I am sick of it. But looking at Victoria, we are very lucky we don't have floods. Looking forward to some sunlight.

Yep, similar situation here in Chinchilla. Heavy down-pours yesterday & another 20mm, any wonder there are a couple of ducks on the billabong, starting to feel like one myself.
Won't be long now guys!! At least the days are warming up & more daylight.
No mosquito plague yet, although quite a few around, but nothing like earlier this year. They've probably all migrated south!!!

I am in Echuca. The army are all set up sandbagging all the caravan parks and keeping an eye on the rising water. The sun is out, hasn't rained for days.
The water is actually coming down the river from the floods in Shepparton area.
The town and port are packed with people, I think there is some sort of truck show on. Can't get through the traffic so safer to stay home.
Some houses may be at risk around mid next week but is looking good at this stage.

Hope you stay dry particularly later next week.

We have been keeping an eye on the Echuca River levels, around 90.83m (2:30pm) at Echuca Wharf (http://tinyurl.com/297yhdt), as Daughter and SIL have a Cabin they built themselves at Merool Riverside Park at Moama.

SIL was up there on Thursday responding to a call from the park owner and putting furnishing etc up as high as possible. Whilst there people were going around the Park and measuring the effect of a 94m flood (measured at Echuca Wharf).

Their beautiful cabin, although on a rise in the park and about a metre off the ground, would have about 30cm through the unit if the flood reaches the 94m mark. This would destroy their Kitchen cupboards etc plus the plasterboard interior, so their cabin would have to be gutted and rebuilt.

So we have our fingers crossed for them.

Lets hope their cabin is safe then Ron & Shirley. I saw on the news the other night they were raising some of the cabins, but don't know which park it was at. They seems to be putting them up on a height of boxes. Lets hope they hold if the water comes through.
A lot of the locals say the media is exaggerating and we won't get any flooding, lets wait and see.

To one and all likely to be affected by the floods heres hoping all works out well in the end, and to all that have been affected, heres to a speedy recovery.

Am presently at Burrell Lakes on the NSW South Coast (50k Nth of Batemans Bay) and they have lost quite a few trees, so many so they have brought in a mobile saw mill and are recycling the timber into planks, mighty fine looking timber.

Will be heading fruther to the South tomorrow and hopefully might even get to Cows on Phillip Island.

That'd be right Grumps. Go to our neck of the woods when we aren't home. Hey I did have a shower.................

Today, the suns out, its a beautiful day and the river is still rising. Doesn't look to be much more than some low lying flooding expected around Wednesday.
