Haven't heard from Jen for 2 days!

While most people are getting over their floods, Swan Hill is about to get theirs.

Here is the news for her town. The water is still on the rise in Swan Hill: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...29/3124678.htm

All the best Jen - thinking of you and residents of Swan Hill and surrounds.
Jeez, tough times for many - can't imagine how I would cope with this kind of disaster.
Take care, stay safe
Doug

Glad your OK Jen and the flood is less than expected. Your photos 3 and 5 look great - I feel like jumping in for a dip. Yes I know, flood waters and all that. Look on the bright side of the mozzies - they could be midges.
