64.5mm since yesterday morning and 93mm for the week, the ground is very soggy, still light rain falling now.

Trouble now also for the Upper Marbryinong with Deep Creek approaching Major flood level

Went down there just then and the Anglers (Marybrynong) are sandbagging! Is it expected to rise further as it was 1.3m when i last checked.

Yes Stefan just been there myself.. U have a red thsirt on? lol. I'm no expert but going from upstream but I expect Minor to moderate flooding downstream this time round which will mean it will go higher than both the September and November events last Year but no where near as high as September 1993, already news crews are out there with there cameras and microphones interviewing locals

Anyone heard from Rhino? Apologies if I missed it on previous pages..

Back down in Bendigo, and caught the end of this event. My mother's house recorded 193 mm (10/1 - 14/1). She lives up near the old orphanage in Flora Hill.

Nearby Beischer Park is flooded, which I guess is fairly common (see pics below).

Yeah John bright sunshine here in Sth Melbourne for the first time in nearly a week. Very happy the humidity has subsided also.

[Soxy]

Sunshine in South Melbourne is because the Dim Sim man reopened today at the market after holidays.

[cutofflow]

Prett sure i know where rhino lives and he will have been evacuated/staying elsewhere. Should be fine, however the house will have water above his windows, Tullaroop STILL RISING
