rain coming

[hrpearce]

The bridge up the paddock held so I was able to get Mum's car out by loadeing it onto a trailer and towing it behind a tractor across two properties and back up the main road, ten Km trip to get the car five hundred meters from the house
I carted twenty five meters of clay into the aproach today, it hasn't filled much of the gap

Mum got a shot of me tipping a load of clay for the core of the aproach, the gap is now full enough to get a 4x4 through

Hi Robert,
Looks like a few big pipes would have been good under that fill.

Yes Graeme pipes were considered but the drawback is that debree in big floods like this one block pipes and the road still ends up floded, also it is expensive to put pipes in properly so a flood won't move them.

The rain returned and the results are in the pictures.
Before lunch when I took Mum's mail into her.
After lunch

Bugger!!

I know how much work it took you after the last rains. Were you on the right side or stranded on the wrong one?

Regards Rick.

Fortunately both tractors and Myself are on my side of the creek. I hope I can find a way to get Mum out tomorrow. The four gurders are within 400 meters of the bridge site but in lousy positions for recovery. So far I have only found one piece of decking.
