Just back from Victoria, we are home getting over a nasty bout of flu.

Maybe a good thing to be home when you're not well, but itching to at least plan another get away, except for the rain!

Regardless, my thoughts go to those stuck in the mud, flood and seriously rotten weather.

Got a cousin spending a month at Stockton, right on the beach- keep ringing her daughter to see if they are home yet, but seems they are toughing it out.

_wombat_ · Master (of Mischief)

feel sorry for all the flood victims not only those on holiday but also those people that live there.

Pejay · Guru

Must admit, can't say I'm sorry the rain appears to have gone from Tsv for the moment, but we are doing a 'ring-around' of family and friends to make sure all are OK. Our thoughts too, go out to thoughts in the affected areas - keep safe folks.

We are at Carcoar Dam at this time very wet and high winds but are high and dry at this time. Drove from Echuca the day before with rain all the way and roads starting to flood what a trip. Will sit here until it has stoped and dry everything out.

Were getting our share of it Playing the first round of Pennant bowls in ballarat today 3rd March Don't much like our chances of getting throught it....Bacchus Marsh is getting a soaking

Gerty Dancer · Guru

Good luck Dave and Karen! Theres more rain forecast for this weekend, just have to sit it out.... not the best fun.
Theres dozens of minor roads closed around Canberra, but the city and suburbs go on as usual. Cant help thinking how lucky we are, with the tumble dryer humming away, while others are working to sandbag their homes and businesses, and are wet and tired.

Rain? Wet? What ya's talking about? We haven't seen any of that stuff for weeks, send some over to the West please.

We've been averaging mid to high 30's and dry all summer around our way. The water bill for the garden is going to skyrocket.

Cheers Neil

Unlike the weather for SA, for example, which historically came from the west, all this weather has been coming down from the north west tropical regions.
Poor WA is missing out except for a tropical cyclone which slipped down the coast earlier in the summer. It's been exceptionally hot in the west.
These weather patterns are unusual, even bizarre. The sea is still very warm and that always means rain.
I can only hope the west gets enough rain for the start of the grain season so that get a decent harvest this year.
Weather watching has been a hobby of mine since I was about 9 years old. I should have been a meteorologist.
Stay safe where ever you are.

Hi Marj,

Rip and Rosie · Guru

Hey, sun's out in Newcastle, and sky's blue................. quick strip the beds and wash the sheets! Might be ably to knock the top off the lawn as well.

When you have finished all that, knock the top of a bottle or two and enjoy. I have just washed a weeks worth off cloths and the towels.

Happywanderer · The Master

Doug, I know the rivers are up but haven't been out for a couple of days, all the small towns around here are under water. Just hope it doesn't come this far. Suns trying to break through today although we are supposed to be getting heaps of rain.

musketeer · Veteran Member

we are here in narranderra ,all roads out are closed ,but it is sunny and looking promising. we had 4 inches of rain last night and the businesses here took a beating,but like the true country town spirit everyone was there to help. we came thru ungarie yesterday and we must have been lucky as it was closed to traffic soon after.

Main thing you are high and dry there with good toilet block.

Is Carcoar Dam full? Many years since it has been full.

Start out early and get there safe, you have to take your time when the roads are wet.
