The green bridge is now under. The temporary edging that council has left in place for the last 12 months is floating gently down the creek. Ooops!
Dave popped down and took this and said it was rising as he stood there…
And here are some photos…
The top bridge is yet further under water
The Green Bridge backing up, as usual
The neighbour's bridge, now much higher!
The creek seems to have peaked, but more rain will send it straight back up...

Hi David,
I think you are out of luck, I think all the bridges are over, but we are flooded in at home and can’t get out further down than the green bridge to check.
A friend reports “Kirk road has police there to stop the traffic from going over… It’s all closed for now”
Watch the creek height at http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDQ65389/IDQ65389.540444.plt.shtml – the measurement is taken down near Mt Samson Rd, so it goes down after the bridge do, so if this is down we should be clear.

Thanks Lea,
I’ll get a friend to check Halls Road level and let you know status.

All,
Halls Road / Cedar creek road crossing is currently (1.20 pm) approx 1m above the creek water level.
Don’t know whether this is higher or lower than previously though.

Hmmm. I think you need to send this to Bob Millar… maybe he might actually do something about the Kirk Rd. bridge. Oh who am I kidding

I really don’t think it would do any good, Michelle – they have other priorities
