Creswick is about 8 k's from my place and copped it pretty bad. No warning early in the morning. We were surrounded by water but could drive through it no problem.

[Iceman]

Our place is OK, was pretty wet in the middle of town though. The river peaked at about 5 and a half metres. I'll stick some pics up later if I get time.

[BANDITROD]

[BANDITROD]

i dont need to build one there are heaps of them round here .... but i will prob have trouble explaining to my insurance company the reason my bike was in the river was because the a trustworthy guy from the internet told me to do it lol

[latheboy]

:D:D:D:D

[xa-mont]

LOL... just say you were trying to outrun some chemtrails and didn't noticed the flooding because you were too busy worrying about the sun having a halo... yeah.... that'll work...

Shep flood is set to peak at lunch time tomorrow just a little under the 93 flood level but I'm in seymour left shep at 6:00 am this morning as the water was covering the high way out. Funnyest part of Sunday was taking my son down some dirt tracks to thge river in shep to show him the flooded river up close and pulling out a 4wd er with burtha the bus then going further in when he was leaving, got to love townies with there bitumen pounding 4wd's lol

[scotty]

my mum is stuck at home in Myrt, but the butter factory is still 2 bricks away from flooding, but myrt is prety much the closest u can get to hotham, the Hwy is closed (was/ prooly open today) just out of Overns.the water level in town is the same as 93, but now where the level of the early 60's flood.

[BossMan]

all my family on farms the outlaws used the boat to get the sheep in and my home town is still requiring a 4wd to get out.
on the up side fishing this year will be good all the lakes are full

[Iceman]

Here's a couple of pics of Benalla before and during the flood.

I know this is from the other side of the bridge, but as you could imagine it was too wet to get the same angle.

fuck thats a shitload of water ....well the river at horsham is about to burst it was flowing like mad today and it is rising 25mm every 30mins it should hit dimboola 2murra from what i have heard on the radio considering the river here is about 60 metres wide and at the mo the river is about 500metres wide at the other side of horsham id say we in for some fun and games

[Redmohawk]

Seymour behind the pub where Burtha and I camp for the night through the week was a little damp monday night lol By tue arvo it was down to a level where I could park Burtha here again, but now i get wankers coming to look a the river from about 5pm till 10pm was a nice quiet area to camp lol

Looks like the water will peak in shep some time tonight/tomorrow morning at a level about 1m below the 93 floods but there is more rain over thurs fri forcast for the catchments above shep seymour benalla of falls around 15 to 20 mm which will raise the water level back to the high point so far!

[Jup]

One of the things I love about living in the hills: aside from the great roads, if we're ever in danger of rising flood waters, somebody better be building an ark :D

I remember the night I lost my LJ torana to a river that burst its banks. Scary as hell. I feel for the people trying to save their homes.

[Jockney Rebel]

mmm it better subside before i come down next bloody week ...lol bloody mexicans

[rock hard]

Hey Lads, just as long as your family and bikes are ok thats good news and the thought of rod in his Mankini and matching flippers TOO scary
