Local Rain and Flooding

Well, we're wet here again after 65mm of rain and as you can guess we've had some local flooding too, which is a regular thing this year.

Having been laid up with a crook back for two weeks, we went out today to have a look around, with our first stop at Weirs Crossing where the Avon River is running very high after Friday's rain.

From the Stratford side.

We then decided to take the Llowalong Rd to Briagolong, but water over the road had us unsure on its depth, so we went back a little to the Startford Briagolong Road, back to Boisdale, then up to the crossing at Valencia Creek, where the river was high, but lower than the flattened grass and trees on the river bank shows a drop in the river of probably 1.5m to 2.0m.
