When the river was in flood, no getting in or out. Forget how many low level bridges there were (25 or so) all go under. But most properties are up off the river
Reckon they'd be stuck for a while with this rain event.
Once got stuck there for 6 days until the river dropped enough to get out and had supplies helicoptered in.

Yes. The previous owners had flattened their yard out so now their back yard is 3 feet up our side fence and it's rotting away. No drainage pipes to draw the water away from the fence either. Grrr. :mad:
 
This is WA's payback for all the crap we've been receiving from our Eastern friends, it's still bucketing in the NW so theirs more on the way your way. :playful:

All jokes aside take care everyone, have seen some brainless examples of the mentality of some during your crisis.

Cop car at Freemans Reach in the Hawkesbury. The locals might have offered him a tow but he had been really busy over the past month defecting all their 4x4's.... :eek:
 
It's still raining sigh

They have reopen one side of the street for residential people only..

So at least we can get fresh vegetables and fruits and milk etc ..

If the rain keeps up they said the street will be closed again

Our cat has been trying to get out to the loo but the poor old girl can not find a dry spot anywhere :lol: :lol: :lol:

The shop's and supermarkets are running out of fresh products because the trucks can not get through because of all the flood's

Lots of road's are cut off

If it keeps going like it is the RAAF will have to get involved with their CH47's.

You would of thought that they would of had time to prepare for this to help those out side of the cities and towns. ]:D

I wonder if the Bellingen school still has the flood bell? Used to ring it to give the kids time to get on the buss for the Thora Valley otherwise they camped with other kids until the water went down. In-laws were across the river from the Steiner school, think they only had 5 or 6 bridges to cross.
