yarra flood pictures
Feb. 4th, 2005 09:06 amI should note upfront that these are not taken by me. I don't actually know who took them, they went around the e-mail at work. They're very good pictures though!
( Water, water everywhere... )
The Yarra this morning was back down below the bike paths, people were even cycling in on them (avoiding the debris everywhere and presumably skidding on the mud.) We went down to look at Merri Creek last night - it had obviously partially flooded the market garden near Munro St some time yesterday, although everything was down by the time we went. The creek apparently measured 4.3m at 10am yesterday, and only 3.2m at 5pm - I'd be fascinated to see what it looked like earlier!
It was still in flood though - the Nicholson St creek path was underwater, and most of the trees that line the bank were partially submerged. Hopefully I'll get photos tonight, we left it a bit late to take reasonable photos yesterday.
And it's raining again in Clayton!
