Now at home

We decided to chance it and see how far we could get home, so we left Glen's place at 4.00pm and luckily the creek that had been blocking the Tuntable Creek Rd had dropped so we could safely cross. The force of our creek was easily seen by the debris that still litters the bridge and the trees that are bent over. We sustained some damage - mos notably the basement flooded and that was where we were storing boxes of stuff we had yet to unpack, including cds, dvds, phot albums, mags, videos, etc. So that was unfortunate. Most should be covered by insurance bit there is some stuff that isn't replaceable.
The creek rose about 6 metres and took with it three trays of Lomandra tubes, a dozen lilly pillies, some red cedars and some other stuff which is also disappointing. I'll post some pics tomorrow of how it has reshaped the land by the creek and given us a sandy beach.
The Madagascan Palm did topple over, but the plant is intact but the pot has broken, so we'll need to repot it tomorrow.
Thanks to those who phoned or texted to see how we were going and thanks to Glen for his generous hosting of us as we whined about wanting to get back home. Well I was whining anyway.
