http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/melbourne-weather-plague-of-snakes-in-coleraine-as-deluge-traps-townsfolk-20160909-grcomi.html

Floodwaters are rising in western Victoria, with residents in the town of Coleraine rushing to fill sandbags to protect their homes and businesses.

People are being moved from homes and businesses to a relief centre at the Coleraine racecourse and the Glenelg Highway has been closed.

At least five people were stranded in their houses as floodwaters surrounded their properties on Friday morning.

Tiger snakes have reportedly been seen fleeing through the streets, although Fairfax Media has be unable to verify precisely how many.

Been a great 16 days to season the camper but over all the rain and storms.

I'm ready to pack her up and get her garaged.

Wet as a drowned rat on the outside and dry as a nun on the in :)
