The SES told the neighbours that the water could get to their front gate .
That is 8 meters above my roof so the landlod decided I should stay with them Wed night
The neighbours gate would is 4 meters above the maximum recorded flood so we both thought it was unlikely .
It got to 11 meters .
Once it gets to 10 then the water is on the flood plane so the river goes from being 30 meters wide to 400 meters wide & it takes a monumential amout of water to raise a 400 meter flood plane up a meter.
Down side is the soll liquidifed so the bridge will be closed till Monday when the engineers do a measure as it is on concrete pads not beadrock.
The road to the brifge is spingy underfoot so it has washed out so will need some major work before it can take vehicles .
The other way the road is washed out at 3 other places when the creeks have undercut the road so we are marooned here for at least a week.
Musky would be in big trouble as the bottle shop is out of beer and the club apparently is onlly serving middies to stretch their supplies .
