Flooding

This is a seasonal creek that runs through our property, up until recently you could jump over it, without much effort...And from here its all heading to places that dont want it...

Looks like you can now get the kiak out and go white water rafting.
Isn't it incredible, at the moment here in Melbourne it is a record breaking 46 deg.

Cheers Daniel.

For all of the extremes we have, I'd never want to live anywhere else.

I hope all of you to the north and south of the continent, take care and stay safe.

Thanks guys and Ron , yup everyone is fine, just trying to keep to keep dry, the horses are on the big block over the wet season, too destructive on this one, they turn it mush in a heartbeat... the rain eased off today and in the picture where the rapids are there was a causeway... Its pretty much destroyed......

Floods, fires and I hear that Locusts are chomping their way through crops in different parts of Australia as well.

Geez, we can't take a trick at the moment.

Stay safe Shawn.
