Seems like cyclone Nelson must have found his way to Bega NSW. 209 mm and climbing, I guess they'll be roundin' up the cows in boats this morning!

Perhaps a little more than you would have liked in one hit but we mustn't complain....

And it's moving south west too so Victoria should see some of it!

Yep looks like the high country could get some, they will need some for that regrowth. Maybe we need some water catchments on the coastal areas, Nowra has had about 47mm and poor Goulborn has only had about 7mm! Anyway have a good day Mike, I'm off to work :( cheers.

9mm in drought dry Goulburn... I heard a news item the other day that astounded me: Pensioners In Goulburn were using their free rail passes to go to Sydney for a decent shower...
52mm in my gauge in Tuggeranong...
Still no flow noticeable in the Murrumbidgee at Angle crossing.

Mr Fawlty,
Their is some flow coming down the bidgee according to the water info site probaly from the 75mm at cooma. We got 75 mm today at bathurst where I live and the3 other side of town got 10mm . Good to see anyway. Grove creek at the Abercrombie caves had the biggest flood in living memory yesterday.

That would have been spectacular to see the water rushing through the "Grande Arche" at Abercrombie...
It may take a while for the water to reach us here from Cooma...

Mate i was right in the middle of it, camped at the juction of Balimbela creek and the Tuross on the weekend, according to one of the local farmers at Bodalla he got 221mm.

We had to avacuate our campspot as we were flooded out.
This is a link to a trip report of the weekend.
