Finally got a chance to go and check out the damage to my mates property at Brindabellas.
It is just devastating what happened.

The SES are unofficially saying the biggest flood in the areas history.

Anyway, here's a shot from before this flood and after. The before shot was just after the small 2010 flood

Tractor about 500 meters down the river. I'll post up the recovery bit later

The bridge which is usually about 10m above the water line...I took this picture from a print out so quality is not great

Wow, poor tractor. I'm keen to have a look around Flea Creek and McIntyres Hut. What were the roads like? Thanks for the pics.

Yeah the main road was OK I think they just grated it recently. Down Flee creek might be a disaster area as well. Gentle Annie is pretty steep so might have a few ruts from the run off.\
The tractor is only a few bends away from Flee creek area and my mate had 6 cars on his property so there might be a couple down there...LOLL
