Re: Too much water
Thanks for your thoughts 
We're actually on high ground here, but two of the main roads to other places were flooded for a couple of days.
I hit a massive pot hole, bending two wheel rims and losing two wheel trims, but the tyres are still inflated; I'll get the local tyre bloke to inspect them. They're only a couple of months old
The property is very wet and I need rubber boots in the driveway, but nothing like the poor folks with a metre of water through their houses and businesses.

Re: Too much water
Mike, Australia seems to struggle with floods nearly every year but good to hear that you are OK. 
Maybe it is time that Stilts were added to new homes, at least that way you could keep dry!!

Nigel.

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
Re: Too much water
Mike, I am glad to hear you are relatively dry, Stay safe down there! Lots of floods around the world unfortunately.

Re: Too much water
Hi Nigels,
Thanks for your thoughts.
It's really always been the same here (in general).
You may have heard of the poem by Dorothea MacKellar, written in 1908, of which the best known stanza is:
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
Line 4 sums it up
