This is the last of my Patonga to Bobbin Head photos. Hope you have enjoyed them.
As you can see by the time we got back to Patonga the weather had improved. Totally different to the weather here in Nelson Bay today. We have had terrific thunder storms, one after another, since about 3 am and our gutters are overflowing. Our patio area on one side of our house is flooded and we have had 226 mm rain in the last 12 hours according to our rain gauge. Apparently there is more to come too, so I think we need to start building the ark.
We are on high ground so goodness knows how people who live on low ground are coping.
I have only switched my computer on briefly to post today's photo due to the storms but I will check out your photos later today on my tablet.
I was just talking to someone testarday about going to Palm Beach and then across to Patonga. If this rain ever let’s up we will do just that after seeing this great photo. My last trip to Patonga was around 1961!!!
Sounds like your day is living up to the old saying, "When it rains, it pours!" Lovely beach and hoping all stays well as you weather the storm overhead.
@loweygrace@wakelys@sangwann@fishers@olivetreeann@robz@busylady It was definitely better weather than we are experiencing at the moment. 280 mm rain in the last 24 hours. We have more to come apparently but at least today we can clear up yesterdays deluge mess.
@kjarn Hasn't it been awful. Hope you fared better than us. 280 mm rain in the last 24 hours. The patio area on one side of our house is a bit if a disaster area with sand and soil washed down from our retaining wall. Our gutters overflowed all day long.
@johnfalconer Sounds like a nice trip is planned. Is there a ferry from Palm Beach to Patonga or do you have your own boat?
@spanner Thanks, but this isn't in New Zealand it is on the Central Coast New South Wales.
