• No .... REALLY RAINS!

    July 26, 2020 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    Sunday morning and the rain is absolutely pouring down.

    Melbourne gets 600ml a year, Daryl tells me.
    Coffs gets 2 metres.

    So Martine says “ I am going to see if the Woolgoolga Creek has broken through the sand into the sea.”
    So we said, “We’re coming.”

    And it poured down.
    Felt like we are under a waterfall.
    And there it was ...
    A massive amount of water flowing from the Woolgoolga Lake ( Creek ) down into the sea.
    That’s the Lake next to our caravan park that is usually shallow at low tide.
    So we really wanted to see it broken through again into the sea.

    We all wore coats etc...
    Saturated in seconds...
    I had to take my glasses off.
    Could not see a thing.
    ( Needed windscreen wipers!)

    Everyone paddled and crossed the raging stream.
    Not me though.
    I was keeping those small dogs out of the raging torrent.
    They would have been swept out to sea.

    So much fun.
