Wasn't just the water level rising then?



Victoria is turning to Queensland for assistance after the worst floods in more than 15 years battered the southern state.

If you see news about Bairnsdale, don't worry, it's an annual event there, just before it catches fire again.

You're all safe now the Navy has returned from a throbbing day of risk assessing

Can do a nice line in landing craft, flat bottoms go anywhere, carry lots of civvies, young attractive ladies first of course

Know if anyone on here has been affected?

We should've sent people to Bairnsdale but the water was rising too fast and was going to cut the roads before they would've got there.

Throbbing risk assessments ????

Sounds like the sort of Ark-load Bernie would be looking at, he'll probably take me along just to serve the beer

I don't know of anyone on here at present in the area. We did have at least one poster in Wangaratta but she hasn't posted for over a year (NickyP) and there may well be others up that way, haven't had time to dig around.

They've also had wild weather on the NSW Coast around the Illawarra, thats home territory for a lot of BE"érs including Hutch and Creature.

Most, not all, of the affected areas (in Vic) are smallish rural towns. Horsham is big ish. Don't know many expats who have gone bush like me...might be wrong of course but don't know of any BE members in trouble. If they are, they may not be able to post! We shall see.
