And so the floods continue. This time Victoria is on alert, especially in the north and north west of the state. Some towns have already been inundated with water but others are still waiting for the flood waters to rise, some not coming until Tuesday of next week.
Today, Tony and I thought we would go up to Murray Bridge and Mannum for a drive to see how the Murray River is faring. They expect the flood waters from Queensland to come down in about 4-6 weeks time. There are already signs in Murray Bridge where the water has come onto the plains and they are starting to make a levee to try and protect some of the houses.
It will be very interesting come the end of February, beginning of March. The river is much higher than when we last saw it. Many people were out enjoying it though.....boats, jet skis and kids swimming in it. The current is fast flowing, as we noticed when we crossed the river by ferry both at Wellington and Mannum.
Sat in the park at Mannum just enjoying watching the activities on the river. One guy was on his jet ski and he knew we were photographing him as he really showed off for the camera.
We had dinner at the Pretoria Hotel before coming back home. A really nice pub overlooking the river.
