The Good, The Bad and the rather Drinkable drop
Now that I'm over the shock of the flooding (The Bad), we spent this morning clearing the debris off all the fencing. From cupboard doors, tries and all sorts of trash, mostly plastic all mixed in with the copious amounts of weeds and grass. We also managed to untangle our log swing seat and cart it back to our section in bits using the ride-on lawn mower and trailer. It ended up about 100 meters away from its original location in the neighbours oppoiste boundry fence. How the hell it went over the fence inbetween our sections without destroying the fence I have no idea. The power of mother nature is truly amazing... if not a little scary.
My hand on the tree below indicates the water level , and where I'm standing at ground level is about two meters above the normal level of the river. So its came up about 4 meters ... 150mm of rain in less than 12 hours is a hell of alot of rain. So glad the house is higher.
