well we are all pretty wet at the moment arent we !
this is a low level bridge in bathurst today which is the main road to a big suburb called kelso..
all roads to kelso and out of town towards lithgow/sydney are cut atm

they are running a train from bathurst to the other side of kelso and a bus back into kelso. pretty cool for a regional town like bathurst !
anyway heres the low level bridge on hereford st today (second pic) and first picture is the great western highway heading towards kelso which is now closed.

4 lanes changed into 2. i wish the bathurst city council would get their **** together and fix this problem once and for all. this highway closes or looks like this for days everytime it bloody rains. its so annoying!!

They're meant to be closing the bridges and ferries around the Hawkesbury this weekend when they release the dam. Don't have any pics sorry but it's pretty full on. We haven't had a flood for years. Good to hear you're safe and well up there though

We've had the hottest summer in about 34 yrs, soooo sick of the heat, thank God it's not officially autumn, though on about Thursday they say it's going to be about 38 again......!!

You lot stay safe ok !!

Where i am working at the moment has been receiving between 20 and 40mm per day I will upload a few photos when i get a chance. its great though. They close down the work site but we still get paid for our two weeks on. And i get to ride the chopper to and from work
always a bonus!

Beards still here Steve. Water came up to the road then started dropping. So far so good. More is expected over the next few days though.

We didn't get the expected peak thankfully.

It looks like that at my place too.

I'm waiting for the breakwater bridge near my place to flood again like it did last year. The first pic is how the bridge normally looks, and then what it looked like after flooding.

Good to hear bro! We still want our monsoon back though!

We average 3 meters here, we're currently 1 meter short, somehow it's getting sucked down to SE Oz. Therefore WE are in drought!
(When the drizzle stops I'm going to the shops )

I lived close to Babinda/Tully which I think may hold an Australian record for most rain in one day - was well over 1.3m in a day... Was a crazy amount. Tully also holds the wettest gumboot - usually (close with Babinda) of 4m of rain per year! It's a significant drop considering Australia (as BOM so politely calls it) is the driest inhabited continent on Earth!

Milford Sound (NZ) gets 6.3m per year on average....

But Dan the Weatherman suggests that a Hawaiian Island gets around 11.7m per year... (and as much as 13m!!!), Mount Tutendo in Columbia records over 11m per year, Lloró in Columbia gets 13.3m per year!

And so on...

How much have you guys had so far?

 

[dihsmaj]

It's bloody cold down here, lightly raining as well at the moment.

I know man and it's just going to get bigger.. you being a local you would know there's usually about a 5metre gap between the river and the bridge..
