Not again! BoM issues Flood warning for Qld and NSW.

"A major rain event will engulf most of eastern Australia during the next 48 hours, prompting the Bureau of Meteorology to issue flood watches from southern Queensland to the NSW South Coast.

"Greater Sydney could be soaked by up to 200mm from late Thursday to early Saturday, potentially leading to major flooding along the Hawkesbury-Nepean River, while Brisbane and Canberra also face the prospect of heavy rain."

Hmm. 50-150 mm tomorrow for us, up to 50 today and up to 50 Saturday.

We're on a hill so lucky ducks but last time we got 10% of the year's rain in a day quite a lot of trees up and died.

@naevaTheRat @ajsadauskas Plant some casuarina trees. They don't mind wet feet and are drought tolerant. Added bonus they make spooky whoosing sounds during storms.

got powerlines over the property so height limited. Probs not a terrible idea though if we can find dwarf cultivars. The flowering natives tend to be a bit sensitive to wet feet (although the teattrees do great)
