The mighty Murray River is in major flood at the moment.
Today it will peak at Tocumwal.

This is only the fifth time since records began in 1870 that the Murray River at Tocumwal has been hit by a major flood. Tocumwal itself is protected by a levee bank but the main highway across the state border is now closed due to flood water.

  1. I hope that you and yours can stay safe.
    Too little water, or too much. Both can be devastating.

  5. I met this problem in Western Australia back in 1998 north of Shark Bay and was quite bemused by the fact that it was simply impossible to drive up (or down) the West of the country for days.

  11. I have read (or seen in the movies) that when the river flooded there, no one can go anywhere because the roads are under water. It might be the very difficult time for all of you.
    Hope the water will go down soon.
