We have had so much rain and more to come. The floods are rising.
Here are a few photos for you to see the changes over the last couple of days.
Lock 11… then
And today
Next is the playground near the cafe, which has been relocated.
Apex holiday park on Friday
And today
This is the dock where the paddle steamer leaves from. As you can see the water level is extremely high. No access at all.
This was Lock 10
Now it is covered. This shot is showing where the Darling and the Murray Rivers meet at Wentworth NSW.
Dockside cafe 2 weeks ago.
And look at it now. The garden beds are completely covered as is the bottom dining deck.
We are expecting it to get much higher over the next week or two.
Luckily we live at the other end of town and are not affected at all.

My goodness that is a lot of water Jo!! We have had heavy rain forecast but nothing has arrived as yet.
How awful! So pleased you are safe but horrendous for those affected. xx
Wow. That doesn't look like fun if you live or have a business close to the river.
Oh Jo! I am so sorry. I need to go back to read if you are all ok.
If it wasn't so serious I would make a joke about living in a paddlesteamer houseboat for a while. xxx
Oh dear. Good to know that you feel safe in your area, but so much damage elsewhere.
P.S. I can see your secret Santa projects made with your friends on feedly, but not on your blog. Weird. They look good.
That is frightening.
I am so sorry to read you are still getting rain. Glad you feel your home is safe. I am sorry that others aren't so lucky.

This flooding is just plain crazy! There will be lots of water coming down the river for a long time, considering what has just happened here. Let’s hope the rain eases up soon.
ALarming pics for all those who live or have business' close to the river, and there will be lots more water coming down this way for many months I think.
