43mm in the last hour that brings my guage up to 68mm since going to work this morning. Its stil persisting it down. Has it stopped in the bay yet? Yes just showery drizzle now, but it's setting in over Bundy by the looks. Heads up - you're it.

Guage is up to 98mm now. another 30mm in the last 1.5 hours. It is still bucketing down. Tanks overflowing, gutters overflowing toilet struggles to flush as the sceptic is full of water. I wonder how much is falling over the Paradise Dam and Monduran catchment areas.

I know it is wet when the Buredekin Ducks appear. Even wetter when they start looking to get off the ground.
I like this pic bundybear. I haven't seen one of these fellas for quite a few years. That's city living for you

Had 18mm from 9am yesterday, and a further 30mm in gauge this morning to 9am. Haven't seen Burdiken Ducks before. Cute little fellas - must've been made in a hurry, where's all his back bits?  Have 15 bundles of frog spawn in a puddle near the front door. Will be going out to rescue them shortly, as it dries out quickly there and we'll lose them. Can't have too many frogs can you? Though last night was a real test of friendship. Hubby thinks I'm crazy. He could be right. But he usually comes out to help/watch me scoop.

This rain is so good for my frogs. Leaves lots of water for them to breed in. I love my frogs, though they do tend to push the friendship at times. They are so noisy that I end up having to wear ear plugs. They spawn in the horse water troughs, the birdbath and even the dog water bowls. I have only heard one of my big green frogs calling. Here is a couple of pics I took of some of my frogs the other night One of the little green fellas making noise  Rocket/marsh frog  Ornate burrowing frog  Brown Tree frog  I didn't see any of my gecko coloured tree frogs or the big green ones to get pics of.

I was half thinking I should have gone to town. The main bridge isn't under yet. Daughter got on facebook and put paid to any ideas I may have had. One of the creeks on the way is well and truly under. Oh well. Lucky I didn't really want to go. My car isn't an amphibous vehicle
