Peak Hours: February 2005

Peak Hours: February 2005

Ma!, The rains are comin'

Well, serves me right I guess for enjoying the awesome weather we were having and bragging about it to all you kids who aren't here for it. Retribution was dispensed with 26% of our annual rainfall falling in just over 24 hours. The ground was saturated through and massive winds tore out trees, taking down power lines and telephone wires. Traffic lights were out and water flooded the roads. All this rain had to go somewhere and guess where? The Diamond Creek of course! They had to let out water from the Winneke dam and it all overflowed into my backyard. My bedroom narrowly escaped a drenching. We did see a platypus which was very exciting. I was very worried about it though. It was so frustrating that there was absoloutly nothing anyone could do. Now we just have to deal with the silt over everything. Another tree fell into my pond today as well. I just hope the weatehr picks up into summer again for the next trip to the prom.

At 8.30am. 

Nothing looked like it was going to be too serious. It was exciting that the river had broken its' banks. But the sun was shining and it had stopped raining ages ago. So off I went to work. At 12.00 I got a call asking if there was anything in particular I needed moved off my floor. 

The fantastic friends I have who came to my rescue before I could get home from work. 

The water reached its peak around 12.30 and stayed there for about an hour before slowly starting to receed. 

The bay windows in my bedroom. 

The door to my room. 

The steps down from the back door should be about here.  

The platypus in my backyard. 

By 4pm it was walkable down th lane for about 50m down fromthe road. 

The view from my back door. 

Raging river that night. 

Random debris 

strewn everywhere. 

$400,000 worth of work 2 weeks ago. All for nothing. 

C'mon! 

Ah patriotism. It really can be a wonderful thing. We made our way to Fed square to watch Lleyton on the big screen. It was so exciting. The atmosphere was just fantastic. The photographers loved Chris and Daisy, I think they took direction well. We'll have to wait and see if any of them get published though. After that result they may go with pictured of those damned Russians. 

Liz and her beer.
