Hello all
Here in North Eastern NSW we have had no phone, mobile or internet/wifi for a week - back today though
So my apologies for the two belated birthday messages that I will post today
We are high and dry here so far better off than many thousands that live near by us.
For any of those BCNA members who have been affected by the horrendous floods in the past week my heart goes out to you and I hope that you are all well and receiving some help now xox

How have you fared @arpie? xx
Our Woolies was flooded, Coles emptied by the next day and cut off from the next biggest town Tweed heads for 4 days. All eftpos down for a week as well and all shops were cash only. Houses 5 minutes down the road from me are unliveable with entire household contents destroyed and on the nature strip. But nothing compared to those living in Lismore, Murwillumbah, Mullumbimby and Coraki1 -
My heart bleeds for you, your neighbours and communities. We've not had much incursion at all ... not copping it as badly as you guys xx it has just been persissing down. The usual leads and dribbles and only some low lying areas along the rivet/lake have been flooded.
The weekend was nice and dried us out a bit and today ... but for how long? I can see the band of rain coming down from up your way... again ...
Take care stay safe xx1 -
Thanks @gumnut. We have been badly affected with our ground floor flooded ie a bedroom living room and garden all ruined along with furniture, internal wall and also a leaking deck roof. We have been cleaning up since last Monday and it isn't finished. We had an internal assessor come but still waiting for a building assessor. We have a student living downstairs and he has been greatly affected.
Both my sisters have serveve damage at their homes on the ground floor. One sister who has 4 yr old twins had to be evacuated as water reach their 4th top step.
Our natural surroundings are devastation. Where I normally walk is filled with debris, furniture, big trees and even a shipping container. It will take years to recover. Here's a couple of photos of my walking track.
