rainy days in Mudgeeraba

The rain has been constant for the last few days with 101mm overnight an indication of what we were getting ...
I was getting pretty bored and the dog was moping around as well.

After having a look at BOM i could see the constant rain was going to split and go round either side of Mudgeeraba for a short while so i took the opportunity to releive the cabin fever by taking the dog for a quick walk.

The overflow from the lake had settled down enough to cross and i noticed a bird leave the nest as i approached...

This looked like a good way to go ...

The water had obviously gone down ...

But you could see evidence of people trying their luck ...

Looks like cricket is cancelled for the time being ...

The creek was well up ...

This whirlpool indicated a drain under the water ...

The path was well under but this family waded through with their pushbikes.

As it was a bit deep for the dog we turned for home and got back before the rain started again ... was good to get out for a little while!!

Not long after we got home it bucketed down !!

I had to actually open the side wire gate to let the water past fast enough to not flood the house.
