    Sorry to see that. It's been raining all day here and all night so far. I hope things improve for you soon, you farmer's are the one's that keep our nation going.

    sorry James, this is a tragedy, it is the same here, and Grenfell has flooded too....the macquarie is flooding in Bathurst, so Burrendong will get to 140%. Hoping the powers that B willl realize climate change is not such an issue, and we had a drought....and the greenys will leave us alone.....

    Hey Agro I think 100% at Burrendong is only 100% irrigation allocation. It will go to 150 I believe and then she is full.

    Things are starting to go down here, slowly. Normally our local rivers( talbragar and Coolahburragundi) go down as quickly as they rise. They have been up since Sunday. The Talbragar is as high as I have seen it in my short lifetime. The Coolahburragundi has been very well behaved and not got as high as it should have.... thankfully as it would have all but taken all my crops. Hopefully it stays that way.

    at 150% we have water lapping our van, it is very likely to happen too.....Forbes will likely flood now, as the Lachlan is rising, Belubula is flooding Carcoar....which joins the Lachlan....well I am not completely complaining we have to drink....

    We have had nearly 2" from 4.30am this morn till now....

    so sorry for the farmers though.....

    Sounds like it is very wet over your way Jennie. Too much rain really. It has stopped here and all rivers are going down again.

    6inches of rain in 5 hours

    We have now had 6inches from 4am, it is official the most rain ever recorded in December, or at once I think...Forbes will go under shortly and pretty much all roads are now cut...so sorry for the farmers...

    Just listening to the local news Jennie. It sounds like it is pretty bad over at Parkes. Hope you are high and dry.
