Waterlogged

'Why ask why? If it's raining it just is.'

Doug Horton ........ (Who?)

The rain has been relentless.

We slosh around the gardens,

and we pump out the septic tank

and we're out of fresh fruit.

We're isolated in our own little haven,

the bridge to the north

all but disappeared

And the bridge to the south awash with floodwater.
But then the whole town of Ingham to the south

of us is under water.

People have drowned in the vastly flooded

Murray Flats to the north of us.

Victoria have suffered devastating bushfires

and so far 66 souls have lost their lives.

I am so grateful, we are safe, my family is safe, our neighbours are safe, our home is safe and nothing else is really important.
