Floods

Hi guys,

Well, the news coverage in Australia has been wall-to-wall flood information over the last 48 hours or so, mainly because we have wall-to-wall floods.

Nothing of the kind here in Adelaide obviously, as it rarely even bloody rains here, but good luck to any of our Bellett brethren in the affected areas on the east coast.

Stay dry and remember, if you save NOTHING else, SAVE YOUR BELLETTS!!!!

(Oh and family, probably)

Cheers,

Dave

My sister took the train from Melb to Sydney as they are going on a cruise from there.

Hardly needed a Cruise though as the train got caught in the floods. Instead of arriving at 8pm, they didn't get into Sydney until 2:30am.

Yeah, well it's pretty wet alright. 206mm for the week (the first 'wet week' in a long while) is a fair bit for these parts. I know, thats just a heavy shower in Queensland, but the soils here just soak it up & saturate. To go out the back door I have to have gum boots - the soil is a soup! Can't drive anywhere but on the driveway - most unusual for summer. At least we're not out fighting fires, or being choked by dust though.
Washed out our Boorowa show though, which is a shame. First time in 123 years!

Belletts are all on hard surface though. ;) (except parts donors - mostly sunk to their bellies.)

Not as wet as Bemboka though! Part of brown mountain road has fallen into the valley, and Bega has been cut-off again. And more rain coming, so says the weather man! How you handling it Broth & Monn?

Cheers, Matt.
