Rain & bridges

I would have liked to get some pics of how the rain affected the area, but that's the problem with rain, you don't want to go out in it to take pics! Ropes Creek rose quite a lot. I think it's highest was about 8 feet under the bridge on Forrester. If it hadn't stopped raining it could easily have flooded again. I think it's been over 10 years since it flooded last. When it does go the bridges on both Forrester and Debrincat go under about the same time, but now the bridge is up at Ropes Crossing we should be able to get in and out of the burb easier - it's higher than the other two. The planners did plan for once! We had to go all the way to Mr Druitt to get over the creek last time.
