Mitchell Freeway Perth at a standstill
Water main has burst.
They'll be talking about this for years.

Hey, wasn't it Kwinana? And southbound from Mill point rd?
Anyway, hilarious(but that's just cos I don't usually go that way!). Otherwise: omg, what a nightmare.
And this morning the roads were flooded too, but that was cos it was raining cats and dogs.

Well... I just had the best drive home ever!! But the otherside of the road Graham farmer fwy and Orrong road chockers, though... it's usually quite full anyway!
My side is usually quite busy too(going west into tunnel), but was now normal... strange.. maybe people are all just avoiding all the freeways.... I even took the mitchel fwy up tp Powis st, instead of getting off at Loftus st and driving through Leederville, what I usually have to do.

Normally takes me about 40 minutes home by bus. Well today I got on the bus at 4.45pm... at 8.05pm, after travelling less than a third of the way home and taking 2 hours to go about 100 metres, I ended up getting of the bus and walking half an hour to the train station. Finally got home at 9pm
The other day I took 2 hours, partly due to an accident on the freeway(the one time I do take the Kwinana fwy, accident in the middle of the city grrr) and all traffic lights on red, but I also got petrol, did the shopping and brought dvds back inbetween
Saw the water mess on the news before. South Perth businesses and underground garages flooded too
