It's a flood

After heavy rain again overnight, the river here peaked this morning and cut North Bellingen off from the main part of town. When it fined up around lunchtime many of the locals came out to inspect the river and bridge, and the atmosphere was one of a public holiday or market day, only with choppers flying around overhead. With more rain forecast the river could go up again but for now the water is receding. Luckily I have a good stock of food as the corner shop is selling out fast, and even the ducks were displaced with these two trying to dry off in our driveway after the creek rose substantially.

It's kind of nice being isolated from the business of town....more time to make art!
