Australian Weather

We can suffer extreme conditions at any time... last week it was extreme heats and wildfires down the road  and this week it was remnants of a cyclonic weather system with tornados and a deluge of rain.

Here are a couple of videos I took showing our dry creek next to our house flowing fast with wet stuff lol

Our poor dam wall has an even bigger hole in it with the rushing waters

And my pet goat BART didnt like the rain at all

Big Storm Today

We have been experiencing some very wet days lately and today we just had another huge storm which dumped 2 inches of rain in about half an hour. The rain has been hard and fast and we will be stuck at home until it dries out a bit, no point trying to drive out as we will get bogged. Here are some pictures.

Run off from our road coming down the gully behind our shed

More run off

The run offs merging on its way to our dam

Merging at the junction on its way to our dam

Our poor driveway

It looks like we could white river raft LOL

The Dam

Our dam wall couldn't cope with the deluge, we have lost 1/3 of the dam wall
