Grafton is now experiencing a major flood as the Clarence River has continued to rise overnight, currently 5.5m's @ 7am. It is still a few metres from over topping the levee system and Grafton and South Grafton should be safe.
To see more pictures of the flood visit my Clarence Valley Floods Blog on top of the right hand column.

ReplyDelete"I love a sunburnt country,
ReplyDeleteA land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!"
