The creeks around home are flowing over the road. There is water over the road to Yarrawonga just out of Katamatite too. Think we are in for a floor around home.

Looks like we are winching across the Goulburn.
Heading up Jamieson Thursday to cut wood. As long as the water goes up halfway on the windshield my mate will be driving through it!
Lucky I'll be well numb when we hit the river, it will be dark and I'll be in superman mode lol.

Bit wet out through Big Desert on weekend - this is the shallow end near the exit :)
Bloody learner drivers ;)



Very lush and green, and if you got out of the car, every step you took, you got 3 inches taller... flaming clay was like glue, but nearly had to winch to get moving it gummed up all tyres on the weekend without trying.
