Recently we had continuous days of rain, after a dew days we had cabin fever. Despite the continuous drizzle we set out for a walk to see the extent of the rains.

‘Lilypad’ dam just below the house was overflowing. So full in fact that the fish were being poured out over the dam and down the road.

Later we had to come back and repair the road as the waters were causing erosion.

The creeks were up and moving along at a fast pace.

Despite that we found a shallow place to cross.

The previous owner considerately made trails for us to walk along with relative ease with the pram.

We walked up to the ‘middle’ dam to see the effect of the waters there.

It also was full and overflowing. Therese loves it here when it is wet because the mud/sand is lovely and squishy. She calls it ’sinking sand’ and ‘bathes’ in it.
