The Great Flood of 2020

It has rained heavily all day here, just starting to ease off a bit. The pond liner on the balcony seems to have done it’s job, we have had no leaks through the eaves. We have had a total of 80.39 mm recorded in our weather station, that’s just over 3″ in archaic measurements.
The ditch that runs through the back paddock gets a bit of flow every time it rains hard. I had thought about putting a few rocks in one spot where it widens out so it would retain enough water for a frog pond in between showers.
​This time, the flow was at another level, it is more like a creek than a ditch. This is what it normally looks like.
This it what it looked like today!
I’m seriously going to have to dig out under the little bridge, that’s where I cross over with the ride on mower.
