Thanks Leon,
Wish we could have sent some your way. We had more than we needed last weekend, about 160mm in 24 hrs. It broke the banks of the creek, flooded the field and created a lake and cut of the bridge and easy access to Young. 2nd last image in the first series posted was last weekends carnage.

I lived in the region for 4 years and did quite a bit of travelling to some of the remote parts. I helped one of my TAFE welding teachers move some silos out at Quandialla, talk about remote living, I went out with him to do the designs of the cones because he didn't know how and another teacher suggested he take me along. He thought it was my trade, I'd only just finished the module on the designs a few days earlier. But I had a memory back then.

Leo,
I'm not as remote as Quandialla, they at least twice as far from Young as I am. But I usually keep about 30L of spare diesel, minimum 10L just in case I ever arrive back here late at night with a near empty tank.
The bread mixes and bread makers are very convenient and make beautiful bread but the mix has a limited shelf life.
Perhaps once a year, I run out of bread between shopping trips,]. It makes no sense to drive to Young to buy bread mix. So I keep and use plain flour, salt, water, and dried yeast in a loaf tin. Sometimes I add herbs to the dough other times just plain. Yeast has a limited lifetime. I keep sealed individual sachets of dried yeast in the fridge. Lasts longer like that. I activate the yeast with warm water and a half teaspoon of sugar. It's the only practical way to have ingredients available with long term storage.
