Rain Rain Rain

The weather here has been pretty wild the last couple of days. We had deluge of rain in most parts of the state especially Gippsland in the state's southeast. There's too much rain down there and it's almost as bad as Sydney's Hunter Valley. Lots of people lost their homes and had to be evacuated, the town of Bairnsdale is totally cut off from the rest of the world with all major routes cut off by the flood water. We have a blogger friend who's working at the hospital there, it's Mei the doctor. I hope she's okay, guess she wouldn't be able to come back to Melbourne for the weekend if the situation continues...

On the other hand, the rain's done wonder to the gardens and it proves that my water-diverter and the water storing drum I set up over the weekend works! This morning I found the drum filled to the brink with water and overflowing. I may need to get another drum or get a larger tank.

Hunter Valley and Gippsland need a HUGE water Diverter tank to save all that water, rather than letting it all go out to sea.
But ... they'll just try to get rid of it ASAP and complain once we're all in drought again!
