Mum is in Mooroopna.
One of my sisters picked her up this afternoon, so she is staying with family in Shepp.
In the 1974 floods water was just under the house.
Expected to go higher this time, hopefully it won’t get in.

74 was higher than now in the Murray at least. I can't find data before December 74, but I remember in late 74 the water was at the top of the Levee bank and teams of people were playing sandbags.
The Levee has been raised since then, the level is currently at 6.2m at Toc. The highest it's been since January 75 is 7.4m in October 75, 7.3m in October 2016 and October 1993.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Levels expected to go higher than 74 in Shepp and Mooroopna.
Peak sometime today.
Some areas that were farmland or bush in 74 are now housing & built up so that may have an effect on how the water moves through the area.
Mum was cross about not being able to come down to Melbourne for the red headed chicks 21st family gathering tomorrow. She is upset that water may get into the house - she has lived there for 50+ years - but realises everything can be replaced.

Just heard back from 2 of my close friends who still live up there.
Both are OK, live closer to the main street in Mooroopna than mum so that part of town is OK so far.
Both are organised, got valuables of the ground, sandbagging and have somewhere to go, worst case. One of my friends hubby has the boat, out ready to go if needed.

Water is rising slower then in 74 but looks like mums house may get water inside as peak expected to be higher than 74.
One of the pubs is already flooded, Royal Mail which is managed by my brother in laws cousin.
One of my friends left her home this morning - with her 2 dogs - to stay with friends in Ardmona, which is a little further away from the flood zone.

Interesting defence by the alleged rapist of Brittany Higgins.
While I'm inclined to believe Ms Higgins version of events if any doubt had arisen it would to me have been more plausible if he claimed the sexual act was a consensual one between two very drunk people.
So either he's telling the truth or is lying through his teeth and believes that by taking the unusual defence that the sexual act never happened (instead of the usual course of it being consensual) will convince at least a few jurors that it's such a brazen denial that it might well be true and provide reasonable doubt.
Strange logic but some people are strange so perhaps his legal team thought a hail Mary defence was his only chance.
