Another Flood

A week later ...

sand deposits almost 1 m deep burying some of the new plantings ... again!




 Many smaller plants survived after being re-planted.

Dirty Work ...after 400 muddy tree guards you stop counting

Another stint with Andrew at cleaning up flood debris

Assessing the damage when water retreated

what a mess!

 Not all the water has receded yet but 

a bag is in the tree and its not the one we put in it!

 A huge amount of sand was dumped on trees we planted

and had already grown well over 2 meters

and were standing on a grassy river bank last week

 David's new  fence went down

 Another of the 2,250 healthy trees we planted bites the sand.

 very sad

 we spent all of last week preparing this site and planted out another 200+ trees.

These were submerged but stragely enough the bags did not float away.

These are stuck in the mud. The bags are 68cm long.

Unless we wash them soon they will die.

and unleashes..dom.dom.dom.dom.the St Albans MONSTER

and floods the long paddock

The Macdonald reaches the road

The Macdonald this morning and still on the rise

It's going to be a BIG FLOOD. It's been raining for 50 hours non stop.

 Too much rain and severe winds took down our beautiful Jacaranda

Even the lake that formed did not make up for it.

Another day another flood

Clean up day after the bridge went under water
