Victoria~Echuca

Hello again....back home and thankfully our place was not in the flood damaged areas of Queensland like they are not so far away.
This image was taken yesterday, 1800km from home on our way back. It was before the river Murray flooded later in the day...we were lucky to get through. I imagine the park completely disappeared as it is right beside the river.....

Thank you for your messages both here and on FB, emails and pmails.
Much has happened in the past 3 weeks...I really would like a rest now to recover from the " holiday "

It is October 18th 2022 and most of Victoria including here is under flood water. So too NSW & Tasmania. We in SE Qld are under possible flood threat over the next week.

Great image, and only too common around here too. I wondered where you were and how you got on during the floods. Glad nothing too bad happened in that area anyway!
