The Real B-man

Thats Pretty High for the Dargle! it usually flows threw two Arches its flowing threw all 3 at a high enough level!

Splendour

Good photos Cremo. I'm living in Coburg for the 8 years and have never seen the river so high. My back garden backs onto the Dargle and is usually about 15 foot below my garden. Today it was about 2 foot from the garden.
Bray U.D.C. had a van going around announcing on a tannoy that 'people should prepare to evacuate in case of flooding'. I didn't evacuate but put my prized possession (my guitar) up as high as I could manage

Anyhow, am her to tell the tale; we didn't get flooded T.G and my guitar is quite safe :P

Sternn hi
No, walls were not raised since then, some dredging done but thats about it, close call last week.. On another note, came home from work to go and get sandbags at 6.30...they were closed
