rain coming

[hrpearce]

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.

Mum got VIP treatment today, our Mayor was traveling in the SES helecopter looking at the damage to the shire and helping stranded people. So instead of me having to travel around 20K's through paddocks to get her out tomorrow they flew her across the creek this afternoon.

I've found a brodge. I bought the remains of a 45' panteck that was rolled between Tumut and Gundagai, I can have it picked up after the company removes all parts that will be useful as spares.
