    Good photos Cremo. I'm living in Coburg for the 8 years and have never seen the river so high. My back garden backs onto the Dargle and is usually about 15 foot below my garden. Today it was about 2 foot from the garden.
    Bray U.D.C. had a van going around announcing on a tannoy that 'people should prepare to evacuate in case of flooding'. I didn't evacuate but put my prized possession (my guitar) up as high as I could manage :D

    Anyhow, am her to tell the tale; we didn't get flooded T.G and my guitar is quite safe :P
