Victoria now has an inland sea! and it's moving!!
Victoria now has a 90k x 40k inland sea and it is slowly moving.
"It is estimated the moving inland sea is 90 kilometres long and 40 kilometres wide."
and getting worse: "Victorians are being warned that a massive moving inland sea is expected to threaten towns in the state's north and north-west for up to 10 more days."

Give me several days to get to Toolondo (30 miles SSW of Horsham), and I'll post a picture of an almost empty lake and the reason why it's almost empty.

Wow!...Be careful everyone.
During our time in Australia I had the opportunity to travel widely in the Agriuculture production areas...I am gob smacked by all of the water. In my 8 years I never saw anything remotely like what has happened in the last few months. It is hard for me to reconcile.
Again my thoughts are with everyone in the path of H20 (future and past).

Quoting the BOM:

Swan Hill
- Exceed major flood level (4.7 metres) around Tuesday.
- Peak near the 4.8 metre level later this week.
- Due to uncertainty of the precise effect the Loddon River flood flows will
have on the Murray River the timing of the above predictions will be subject to
review as the event unfolds.

Stay safe Jen and take care. I can understand the stress you must be going through right now, just having gone through it myself.
