The Wet

Well last weekend it certainly rained here...it rained, and rained , and rained , and rained, and rained and rai.....you get the picture. Apparently around Cairns there was in excess of 1500mm of rain  that is 1.5m  or 4 foot 9 inches in old money! Whilst I dont think we had that amount Mossman and Port Douglas were cut off for a while with the Foxton Bridge flooded and closed (on road north to Daintree) and the Captain Cook Highway at Craiglie cut off...
This is the creek on the back route into Mossman from home



Not that we could get to the creek from the house anyway as the road just past the winery was slightly wet as well...




But we could get closer from the Mossman side which is where I took this video from...


The road to the creek from Mossman side had some water as well but not as much
