Dreaded floods.
Well it has happened again, spent all day yesterday on the forklift
Loading my cousins factory onto trucks and trailers
And getting everything onto high ground. It is amazing how much
Stuff a diesel mechanic collects between floods.
This morning we waded through the factory at about 3 foot deep.
With about 1 foot of mud on the floor. Reports are it is going to get worse before
It gets better.
I will post some photo's when I get near a computer as I am on my phone at the
Moment..
The worst thing is I had 3to4 inches of water flowing
Through my shed in the early hours this morning..
Pic's to come later.

Not looking good in Bairnsdale, saw it tonight on the news.
Quite a bit of water still to come out of the High Country as well.
Hope things won't get too bad for you.

Matt
Been there and done that so I can empathize with you. Is your home safe?
I too will keep fingers crossed for you.

No worries Matthew. I reckon your cousin would be thinking about relocating or putting everything on floats instead. It's gotta be a bit of a shock after this last drought.

Good luck Matt,
Luckily we only copped the edge of it here, no floods but lots of tree's down from all the rain and then the wind.
