it certainly was a Halloween to remember! It seems like so long ago already with all that has been happening here in the valley: storms, power outages, no internet and now no phone coverage (telstra is still not on top of their sh8tstorm apparently) and rain, rain and more rain.l So much rain that the Yarra River had broken its banks, the little Yarra River close to us had as well and there was even so much deluge that the storm drains could not cope.

My heart goes out to all ! Please stay safe ! We are doing fine here in the Yarra Valley. Although the name tells you we are in a valley, we are quite high up, so we are safe. The Little Yarra River has reached a high level again, just like not too long ago when...
