It's still raining. 290mm (11 1/2 in) this month so far including 80mm (3
1/2in) last night. It seems we have our own private east coast low
sitting
just out to sea.
The dam overflow is running backwards - that is the river is running into
it -
it will part of the river soon. Normally the river is 10m (30ft) wide and
30cm (1ft) deep. Now it is 100m (320ft) wide and 13m (42ft) deep. The
road
is cut both ways. The horses had a silly spin when they went down to
drink
'cause the floodwaters made everything look different. Lucky they one of
them
didn't slip over and hurt his stupid self or fall in and drown.
The garden has water running through it (it's on a hill). I found an
Eastern
Longneck Tortoise and a Water Dragon trying to escape, they can swim but
the
flood flushes them out of the comfy little holes and fi****ng places. As
for
working in the garden forget it. But we did ask for La Nina so went can't
complain too much.
