Sorry about that link, it's a small country town paper and has disappeared. Thanks, brucie for the working links to info. The water is still pounding relentlessly here but so far inner Sydney is just muddy.

That picture of the spider webs around the house is spooky, Sandra (oops, rains increases and starts pounding on the ceiling as I write).

Here is an image from Wagga Wagga today, including another spooky spider pic below.

What is it with spiders? they like to come inside when it rains. I have the doors and windows closed tight, but they're cunning things.
eek - just found this image taken today in
Mc Evoy St, Alexandria which is the next suburb to where I live.. gulp.. And Forbes (home of some dedicated folkies) is cut off, apparently.
