Sorry,
Just couldn't resist the tongue in cheek answer, I live in the Riverland of SA and are watching the increase of
water down the river (Murray of course).
Between where I work and live it encompassses Lock 3 to 6, I have pictures of Lock 7 on the Border being underwater from 3 weeks ago, Lock 6 has had the navigable pass pulled out with Lock 5 doing the same as late as yesterday. Lock 4 & 6 are only 100 plus mm from being over the top. All the back waters are full and the
water is starting to spill onto the flood plains, for interest sake below lock 4 is 3m plus higher than this time last year.
Only down side is the impact on the farmers, what grain is not off is going rotten due to the rainfall, stone fruit is getting split and the vines have an outbreak of downy mildew.
Oh
well at least the yabbies won't be far away :)
