Sunday 19 June, 2016 – 5:30pm

Well, we were forecast 60 – 80 ml, but we are over 130ml with no sign of it stopping.
The new causeways have been absolutely AWESOME – the creek goes up, they flow over for a bit, the creek goes back down (and here’s the cool part) the bridges are passable again while the rain stays low! Huuuuuge improvement!

Here’s the pics from 5:30pm:

2nd bridge

The low bridge has clearly been under, judging by the debris on it, and was going under again soon when this was taken – judging by the increasing rain since then, its under now

upstream side – going under soon, but note how the upstream isn’t significantly higher then the low stream!

4th Bridge

4th bridge has at least a little time to go

4th bridge coping nicely with the flow!

At 6PM, the river height graph suddenly spiked, finally telling us what we all already knew – the bridges were going under…
