Not very meaningful for most of you. This is the road to Snake Island which is between the two rivers. Here the Murray is nearly up to the road.
This is the other side of the road - don't know if it is the Murray seeping under the road or the Darling seeping towards the Murray.
This is the boat ramp on the Darling at Wharf Road behind our place. The objects beside the tree are a bench, log railings and a sign. After all this excitement it's nice to come home to our beautiful house.
I love this view when the roller-door goes up. I always feel I am entering an enchanted castle. And tonight I had the perfect summer tea.
A very decadent dinner! So the rivers are rising...do they know how far they will come up?
ReplyDeleteCurrently they are saying that we will experience only minor level floods which is what you see in the photos. I think the Darling has risen because they're letting water out of the Menindee Lakes now so that they can absorb the Queensland water when it comes. The water from the little Victorian rivers will reach the Murray this weekend so that will change things a bit. Swan Hill may flood this weekend - that will be a bit of an indicator. But there are still lakes nearly dry from the drought so they'll absorb a bit too. And Wentworth does have a levee bank all around the town and none of the flooded towns so far have reached the 1954 level which our levee is built to. But we'll see.
