And the rain just continues to fall!

Photos from our town here in Vic this afternoon - we use this bridge at least twice a week to get the girls to netball - Not today! The rain has been constant, not as devastating as what is going on in QLD right now -our prayers are with all Queenslander's tonight.

In amongst all this rain we decided to drive around and check out the block, to see if the water was flooding or if it was running off. It was difficult to get through as the roads are still unmade, but from the main road leading into the estate we could see that our block is up quite high and no water was collecting on it.  Here are some pics of the estate and the creek bed near our block that has been dry for many years with the drought, it was flowing today!
This road will lead into our court, the asphalt hasn't been laid yet, the heavy rains have totally flooded it.

Our block is way off in the distance, there is no rain settling on it, which is great to see it running down the hill into the creek.
 The other end of the estate was also closed off due to the rain.


The creek bed near us is usually bone dry, I mean not a drop of water, today it is totally flowing, what an amazing site after years of no rain.  This will surely delay work on the estate and slow down the land getting titled, oh well the upside is we really do need this rain, it is long overdue.
