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.

Rain is here well and truely at the moment
196mm since it started last week and is raining again today
Quite a lot of roads cut or under water and widespread flooding
Attached is a couple of pictures I took yesterday near Geurie
Dosent look that impressive but considering the river usually sits easily between the centre pilons about 7 metres below it current height it is a lot of water
