HI All,
Start of yet another wet week. We have had just on 900mm of rain since the beginning of April at our bush retreat on the outskirts of
Brisbane. This is the most in 25 years according to neighbours who have lived in the area a long time. At present we cannot even drive (by 4x4) to
the hut on our property due to washouts and landslides and fallen trees. I will have to resort to doing a lot of work when it fines up ... hopefully pretty soon.
By the looks of things at present you'd swear we are in the
Daintree (lol).

Hi Saharaman,
I'd say you've got your work cut out when it does fine up. If It does :)
I heard on the NBN news tonight that
Bellingen has coped 2.6 meters of rain this year alone. I don't think we've come anywhere near that but we've had enough and there is talk of another flood coming our way. Our Ferry at
Lawrence gos off at the high tide and it wont take much more to flood again. I've go so much work I need to do outside and I've run out of inside work. The ground can't take anymore.
Oh
Well,(shrugging shoulders) There are those that are a lot worse off than us.

Your not wrong H&F in regards the work ahead of me.
I've just bought a 4X4 tractor so once I put a front blade on it it should make light work of the landslides. But the washouts are a bit of a problem as they are on the downside of our track and you can't simply push soil into the hole.
I know how you fell about being locked to inside work - wish it would stay fine long enough to dry out a bit.
Cheers
