Hey Terry, I've sent you a bottle with a note on it. It's dated the 26th of June 2023.
Have you got it yet?


Also more and more rain for QLD north coast and some central. Don't know where Nigel gets his info from.

Come in spinner I believe is the appropriate term https://www.urbandictionary.com/define. ... %20spinner

I was surprised to see the river level only needed to drop 0.24mtrs according to the BoM gauge for our house road to become accessible again. There is still water on the road in parts, a lot of debris to clean up along with a lot of mud, but the Prius gets through ok so that means most vehicles should be able to access it at least from the Flood Rd end ..... haven't tried the other direction because the road to Mannum would still have dirt barriers blocking the Long Gully flooded section, it will have to drop another mtr before that clears.

Great to be able to drive into the car port again, even took the Hino home yesterday, but drove it back to the workshop today because the power is back on ......

Is the port area flooded like they were expecting?

It has water in it ......

Lots of debris on the road in the spots that were under water and one still has a few inches of mud, but apart from that, the road all the way down to Long Gully is above water ..... it will be quite some time before the road at Long Gully is above water though, so still need to drive up either Lovers Lane from the top of Shearer's Heights Rd or Flood Rd to get to the main road leading into Mannum ....... The street party will be interesting tomorrow, hope we don't get too many sight seers driving up and down the road and making us move aside

They scraped the rubbish off the road yesterday and piled it in the off road parking spot that was under water before the road was at the level when we drove the kombi through there, roughly a mth before the peak. Seems they think the flood has passed, yet no one seems to be factoring in what is coming down the Darling, without adding in the water from recent rains that flooded the Murrumbidgee River recently ...... The BoM graph is showing the water level at Burtundy on the Darling (last measurement before the Darling joins the Murray at Wentworth) at above major flood level and rising, so already 3 mtrs above normal flowing river height ..... that will push all that water that flowed backwards up the Darling when Wentworth started the whole flooding problem, back down and into Wentworth along with all the water coming down the Darling. The water level in Wentworth has only dropped 3 mtrs since the peak .......
