Yeah, A friend of mine and another KSRC member, drove down from Sydney to Melbourne a few days ago and was faced with two Hume Freeway diversions due to the flood waters, so it's obviously a tad wet up there!!!!!! :shock:

So geographically where are these floods? Just wondering how long it will take for the water to disappear hopefully it will be back to situation normal in the next 6 weeks?

Its north, north/ west & and some east " bairnsdale" or gippsland if you like. This should only last the next week or so, in 6 weeks time you should be sweet as a nut " except for the locust plague " :twisted:

It would have only needed a bit more and the Hume would have been blocked at Tarcutta. We still have a lake here as the last one was just going down before the weekends rain. Who knows what will happen in the next week...

We've had two days of "dry", so I thought Sunday arvo, jump on the ZRX about 3pm, roads will have gotten rid of any damp and a quick squirt up Myers Creek Rd then onto Mt Slide would clean out the cobwebs. Bugger me, I get as far as Coldstream and it starts raining again, not heavy but enough to make the roads wet. Ended up through Yarra Glen and turned left towards Eltham & Warrandyte away from the rain. The annoying part is I could see blue sky. At least I'm not wearing out the BT-014's.

It was dry down around Noojee and the rain has washed all the bark off the Willow Grove Road. :D :D :D
