This morning it was very dark outside and all the rain that we have done without was pouring down in sheets. The drive to our house was awash, with the water gorging out channels at one side. Luckily, our dry creek bed works really well and took the flood away from the house and into the dam. Most of our water tanks were overflowing and Edd opened the valves to let the excess water drain down to the large, old tank below the ruins.
The dairy remained a dry island, moated on two sides, where the water tank that takes rain from the shed roof had over flowed. We have raised walk ways so that the goats can get from their shed to the milking shed and today they were essential. Bo tells me that Yarra glen is not flooded yet, so I hope that the bridge on our only route out is still passable. We have not had this sort of rain since we started to build our house!
