We've been off line for a few weeks as the computer is out of action and now we are borrowing Emma's. We sure had some rain here as well, one advantage of this hilly country we can't get flooded out only the poor people down stream in the flatter country cop all the water and flooding, we went for a drive to Gundagai and saw the water, there sure is a lot there spread out right across the flats under the bridge. We were flatout making hay before the rain came and now we're at a stand still as the paddocks are too boggy to get the machinery onto, now they are predicting more rain in the next couple of days maybe another couple of inches.Hope everyone is OK and not affected by the flooding too much.

Max you did well to get hay this year, I didn't try as it was too risky and I still had hay in the shed. Also the cattle are grasing the best hay paddocks as the floods have washed all the balks out on Mum's side of the property,

A couple of photos of the bridge that is being built just round the road from here. The first was taken with minor flooding and the second was taken at about the peak of the flood.

New bridge is across the creek in a tempory position so I can catch up on some stock work before building new headwalls. Vicki and Mum want sides on it they dont think it's safe as a flat deck.

That should do the job, Robert.
Might be a bit too close to that tree though. Still the tree might stop it washing down stream. Rick

The constant flooding of the little creek behind my house this year has finally damaged a stacked rock wall that held a road in place for log trucks to cross the creek when timber was taken from the property during WWII.
