    Mate feel for you. But while you are copying the crappy weather the low had blocked all the wind allowing us a couple great days for fishing.

    hope you dont end up with too much damage champ, nothing worse than having to argue with the insurance companies.

    im sure the two cartons are gone by now but i hope you can get your hands on more.

    stay safe

    Maclean has been pretty safe. Equaled the 2001 flood and has done serious structural damage to the levee. It should hold out and one can only hope but we've got all the RFS trucks pointed in one direction in case of a breach.
    Got some great pics but don't have the lead to connect the camera to computer. Will put them up when i get a chance. This is the first time i've been home in 3 days Coucho!

    Hey Matt bet it feels good to get home mate. The big tides must of held the flow back in Maclean as up at boral they have the flood levels engraved in the concrete fence the 2001 level is about a foot up the wall and this one just touched the bottom.
    Some Damage to the levee here as well apparently.
    Matt do you know if you can get from Grafton to Maclean yet?
    Can't wait to see the lower river picks stay safe mate.

    At the moment i am looking forward to the next El Nino. Sick of the rain, wind and damage done up and down the coast. Hope the cleanup isnt too bad coucho. Hey Matt are those RFS trucks pointing to the Pacific for beers if the levy goes. Now we all wait for the conditions to be right for a fish, hopefully not too long.
