Good luck all!
My brother has been caught. Cant go back or forward. He was supposed to be home from the Northern Flinders Ranges (where he lives) yesterday but yes it has been PISSING down. The road into Quorn has been washed away by a 4 metre wall of water
Dry here at Sellicks though.

Well im still alive & havnt floated away, levy bank was breached @ 3am by 2 inches but got nowhere near my place. I stayed awake until 5am then all the phone calls started @ 8 so im feeling wrecked. peak was 7.1mtrs but i got word that its dropped by a mtr since 4am so they reckon now that what happens next depends on rainfall today up in the hills

Coz if you inflate the tyres to max they'll float in the shed anyway, just have to "moor" them to a dock!! laughing
