Yesterday evening a friend and I drove back from Sydney to Canberra in his Isuzu County. While he was driving around Lake George I snapped a couple of pics and some video of the visible standing water. Google hints that this is the first time since 2001 that Lake George has had water in it.
The Bureau of Meteorology says Canberra has had about 56mm rain in the last 72 hours. Hopefully a change for the better. Our passionfruit plants noticed and have started fruiting. Yay!
One thing's for sure --- I sure wouldn't want to be one of those sheep on Lake George right now!

I remember way back in primary school I lived in canberra, a friend wrote a short story for school about Lake George filling up suddenly and people in it were stranded and drowned. I had nightmares about that story and have always looked at Lake George with suspicion since!
