My bro-in-law was helping to fill sandbags at 1am last night in Shepparton. It's going to be a scary week up that way.

A great guy as EW said. Will be a nervous time for many Victorian communities.

I think technically he’s Ardmona, he’s just out the back of Mooroopna. He’s currently in the “Stay Informed” zone but they’ve already lost power.

Who ever let them build that stupid wall to stop water going on a race course but push it towards houses should be sacked. What a cock up.

Don't agree. The houses built all along the river with concrete and roads etc. also stops the water from penetrating the ground.

Yet to be proven the racetrack wall contributed to the flooding to the extend it did.

Re: Maribyrnong River

Not sure why you posted this Easty, it is a political issue.

Yeah no worries BAD. I'll delete it as this is not a political forum. We all have our political views and people agree and disagree so no need for it here.

I hope everyone is ok in the regions currently affected.

Re: Maribyrnong River

Yeah I dunno, I'd be pretty filthy if I lost my house just to keep a race track dry.

Re: Maribyrnong River

Big shout out to the Aussie Army, the levy banks they are creating are going to save hopefully a heap of houses. Over 3km all up.

Ive been in Echuca the last couple of days helping my previous employers sandbag(the business backs up to the Campaspe and it's a bit of a losing battle sadly) its going to devastate the port area.
