    Yes the floods hit my home town first but luckily i was not effected as i live in a higher estate. Alot of our roads were flooded and a 20 minute drive to work ended in an 1hr detour. The X wife and my children unfortunately got flooded but with the aid of a few friends we cleaned up quickly but unfortunately they lost everything but lucky she was insured.

    Glad to hear you are safe and dry. Sorry to hear the X and kids lost everything in the flooding. My home was flooded twice when I was a kid. Lost a lot of childhood memories in those floods. Hope the waters drop soon and life can get back to somewhat normal.

    Happiness is wading boots that never have a chance to dry out.

    The flooding is going up to 14 meters now and its reaping havoc with homes, grops and livestock. All this because the greenies did not want dams built, wankers. Anyway, hopefully our government will learn from this gatastrophy.

    Hey Gig,
    Have you used your Tenkara Wakata yet? I was hoping you would give me a good report on it as I'm thinking of trying it for my first Tenkara to see if I like that style of fishing !! I think it looks like a lot of fun!!

    Thanks Buddy,
