    Australia is a land of extremes, isn't it, as Dorothea Mackellar put so well. Hope you are safe.

    That is so sad when the water comes that far out of its banks. Hope it recedes soon. Take care Peg.

    WOW Peg! I hope you all stay safe and dry. I have only had flooding issues once in my life and that was because the city didn't clear the storm drains but our damage was very minor. I will be keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs...

    Wow Peg - I was wondering how you were going. That's a lot of water. Plenty down here too - actually stopped raining for a while yesterday and the sun is trying to peek through today but there's way too many dark clouds around.
