Dom was out at our place earlier today and the water had risen 2' overnight. Oh WOW!!
BUT ---- it hadn't gone over our levee bank. He found a little water inside our yard and tracked it down to another pipe.
Dom phoned Steve and they have gone out there in a friend's monster Ute, to cap the pipe and put in some sandbags.
I have reservations about this trip. Four people in the front seat, some without seatbelts --shudder. The thought of Steve and his high blood pressure handling sandbags doesn't thrill me either. I asked them to watch him. If the Police are manning the road today, they might not even get through.
We heard on the news today that the Loddon Valley Highway is open at Kerang, for local traffic and emergency. That must surely mean that the Power station is OK. That is a huge relief.
