Still raining on and off. Paddocks all have half inch of water. I found this vid is from earlier in the season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-oXuRZqHTA
We spent many, many days at lake Eppalock, fishing, skiing and exploring. Near the end of the vid it shows a small inlet to the right of frame. It is or is next to a quarry that the lake flooded. In the early eighties we used a depth sounder to show the bottom. You could see the road contour and what looked like a truck sitting on it. Sadly We will never know as it is too deep to dry out when the lake is drained, as it was almost a decade ago.
Don't build new dams as they will never fill. Ha!
Other side of the divide. Check this out (Monday 31st), heaps more rain, with water table rising now thru to surface level and the 6 meg dam has 80m long wall with I m free board and she breached over top but survived. At same time, 50kph westerly and another big stringy bark came down _ blocked access to our paddock garden. Just needs a bit more clearing away so I can get to the little red tractor so it can help out from behind.
Last pic is the dam over flow.

More weather on the way people, copping it here north of Ballarat now.

Biggest winds this season happening and picking up now. Ground moister than Paris Hilton's knickers ... Trees and poles stand no chance.
This incoming storm may be a quiet achiever.
Bring on tonight.

How goods coming home from work 7am Sunday morning! Blood marvellous.
Think i've said it 30-40 times before, but fcuk it i'll say it again. SES volunteers are legends!!!
Without them, I dead set don't know what this joint would turn into after some weather... Such privilege working alongside and assisting them.
On another note. I experienced WITHOUT A DOUBT the heaviest 10-15 minutes of rain/wind I've ever witnessed in my life. It just hit out of nowhere like a explosion of wind and rain in a matter of seconds, from calm and dry to catastrophic! 2:22am to be exact... Just that little bit of dark red on the radar.
G'night all. Wait... G'day. MOrning, whatever it is....

What's SES? Some sort of search and rescue service?
