After Bushfires and Pandemics, apparently it’s now time for Floods here in New South Wales in Australia.  We have had a huge amounts of rain in the last few days, causing massive floods in parts of the state.

Here in Rylstone we haven’t had terrible floods like other parts of the state, but a large amount of rain for our region nonetheless.  2 inches of rain less than a week ago, then 4 inches of rain in the last 48 hours, with far more predicted today.

Through Rylstone runs the Cudgegong River.  For years of drought this river has resembled more of a creek than a river; a small and stagnant waterway that meanders its way through the small township.

Find below a few images and a short video of what that usually small & stagnant river looks like this morning (23/03/2021).  These were taken from the It will be interesting to see what it looks like after even more rain today (Edit: Same size but faster flowing).
