Happy Australia Day !!!!! Now we are one.

A whole year of blogging and I have enjoyed it.  Here's Australia Day in Wentworth.  A bit different this year.  The ceremony was held in the Town Hall this year for fear of where the floods may be up to by now.

A bit more mellow than last year with its water-propelled rocket launch at the junction!  Wilder outside our place.
 Something different at the Royal
And as for the floods...
The lower part of the wharf is under water - much to Sis's confusion.  And the bench looks a little lonely.
The flood waters are expected to reach Mildura in about 3 weeks.  Wentworth will be a little after that.  The Shire boys haven't put up the levee system on Wharf Street yet so there's no panic.  It is a little surreal when the evening news says the 'inland sea is moving northwards and westwards' across Victoria.  And amusing to see my blog on 30 January last year...

  2. Wowzers- you'll be doing dives from your deck into the water at this rate! Happy Australia Day back at you, although it doesn't quite feel the same here with all the snow - more snow than we've ever had.
