    G'day All :)

    The following are some pics of the recent rain (and subsequent runoff) we experienced here in Central Vic. Pity we could not have 'caught' it all. However we did manage to 'slow it down' (and in some instances, redirect it) with drains and micro-swales onto the native (and indigenous) reveg, and the orchard built into our site; mostly the neighbouring properties just opened up their front doors, and let it flow out the back:

    Great piccies Mark. Gives a bit of hope that the climate can support our garden.

    Thanks Mark, hope it didn't cause too much of a setback.

    Good to have decent rain at last I guess but I hope you were able to trap some of the topsoil rushing past.
