watching the river

I'm watching the Wentworth Community facebook page every day as both the murray and darling rivers slowly rise. 

My house is cut off from the road now as the whole front yard and driveway are underwater, and in the last few day's cadell street is closed off from the lock where the water has crossed the road and is heading for the cemetery.

november 20, my drive underwater, the wharf going under, water beginning to seep across cadell street

the levee at the golf course has broken and the golf course is under water.

it's peaking in a few days but there's predicted to be a second peak around christmas so who know where the levels will end. 

November 27.  the wharf is disappearing, the water is up to captain john egge's chest, the full length statue of possum is also chest deep in water.

    community sandbagging day last sunday 

In between flood watching, sunny and i spent a weekend painting my bedroom.  she stayed two nights so we got a full day's work in and had two nights together, we had a great day's painting and the room looks

great.  i love the green, it's very restful to wake up to.
