Eight inches in a week

Since last weekend we've recorded 200mm (8 inches) so we're a bit on the wet side up here. Our creek broke its banks on Friday and as you can see from the pic above it flowed with a fair bit of force over this once tall grass about a metre above the bank.

Our quiet swimming hole is now rather turbd and rough, though the water level is dropping quickly.

This is what we cae home to on Friday. This is the bridge over Leycester Creek which forms part of our boundary. The only way to our house is over this bridge, and you can see that the creek was almost over it. Infact it had risen over it during Friday but by the time we came home it had dropped to being just under it.

We didn't know whether we should have stayed at home on Friday because even at 7.15am as we drove over the bridge, the creek was quite high. Luckily the creek rose and then fell away in a matter of a few hours.
