We got heaps of rain, I reckon 50mm or close to. Our creek has been dry for months and usually after it is dry and it rains like hell the water starts trickling down and slowly builds over half an hour or so. Yesterday it came down as a wall carrying 2 months of dead leaves and a car tyre (which takes some moving so you can understand it was a wall of water).

I will post some pictures tonight, it was pretty close to the highest I have seen the creek and definitley the fastest I have seen it come up. It when down pretty quick and was just a trickle again by this morning :(

In Byford we had 20mm in the gauge in 30 minutes. Power was off for 4 hours, got to test out the battery-backed air compressor I bought from BYAP last week!

Has stopped flowing this morning, amazing all those upstream resume their regular rape and pillage pumping reigimes as soon as there is any water flow :evil: Might be time for some letters to be sent to DEC and Water Corp I think. Trees downstream in the regional park are all dying or dead because of it.

Creek has been dry for two months but a week ago I was told of, and shown the place where the limited flow stopped upstream. On council land, someone has put in a sump and all water (what little flow there was) was being directed into a big duckpond on their property :evil: See I wrote "was" it seems a 20kg bag of concrete and a heap of rock fell into the sump :funny1: . Should really go and see if it fell out of the sump.
