Original March 2022 post:

Flooding has again struck our community for the second time in 12 months.

This video was taken when the waters still had about 2 more meters to rise.

I’m indebted to the excellent Hawkesbury Flood Statistics facebook page for making excellent real-time data available about river heights and closures.

Here’s their summary after the waters subsided:
