Well, it rained and rained and rained last night – its 7am and it looks like there is over 50 ml in the gauge.
Obviously the creek is up – we’ve been down and checked the bridges and even if the school bus can cross it, I don’t want my kids on it trying to go back…
Here’s the low bridge:

Thats the bridge that is hardest to cross. We saw a couple of 4wd utes cross it, but we saw no need to even try it.
The green bridge isn’t over – yet, but its quite high:

and the bridge above us is just awash! This is what the low bridge will be like in an hour or so. This really doesn’t capture how it is roaring over the bridge – photos never do seem to capture it until its really ridiculous. The reverse of the camera adding a kilo?

Our neighbour who built the fancy bridge into his property will think it is very schmick today – where the water is roaring through is his through-the-creek-bed bridge

And the graph shows its only going to get higher:
I’ll keep you updated….

Great photos and great to know somewhere we can be updated on river levels (even tho we live further north, out of Dayboro). Keep up the good work! I’ve put under my favourites.

Always nice to know what the crossings are doing without having to drive down and look!
