Brilliant pictures! I was about to write about the flood in Melbourne as well. Apparently all the big rivers have broken their banks.
The Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers are still rising while we have a sunny clear morning.
Very strange having to find a road that is not flooded just to go from Wheelers Hill to Parkville.
