Constant rain last night resulted in a swollen, angry, swift flowing Leycester Creek which spilled out from its banks and covered our bridge to a depth of one metre. No one would be going anywhere today. This shot was taken around 1pm after the creek had begun to subside.
But at its peak height it was at the 1 metre mark.
Much of 'the creek reveg' area was under water, including a lot of our plantings but they reappeared by 3pm. You can see how the force of the floodwaters has flattened the grass.
Glen had stayed the night so we spent much of the day eating, watching movies and baking. I did some work this morning but gave up and enjoyed the enforced slowness.Our friends, Dave and Cathie, managed to drive across a slightly still flooded bridge around 3pm and Glen managed to drive out. I think we'll be OK getting out tomorrow.

Are you still flooded in? Are you getting all this rain? Or are we now getting all the rain you've already had? It's meant to snow here tomorrow!
I "dropped in" to see if there was an update on your planned fencing over the weekend. What a lovely sunny DRY weekend we just had! Hope you had an enjoyable relaxing time and that satisfying lengths of fences were erected!
