Big mistake. I left the city about 8:15 pm and got home not long after 11:00pm. Montague Street flooded, Dudley Street Flooded, Kings Way flooded, St Kilda Rd Flooded, Flinders Street Flooded, Monash closed at Toorak Rd and down to 1 lane at Jacksons Rd but the worst shock of all for me....The Avenue Estate. Entrance to Thompson's Rd had water across it so thought I would enter from the Eve Estate. Rd was under water from that entrance but decided to go along it any way. Water along Mountain View Blv was up to my door in some places (I drive a RAV) but I decided halfway down the rd that I would drive on the wrong side of the Road as there was little water across that side. I made a lot of illegal turns last night. Glad to get home, I'm on the high side of the estate so house was ok but sadly my Maple Tree has blown over. I will give it some tlc tomorrow (if the rain stops). Will be interested to go and inspect the damage tomorrow as it looked like parts of the road was washing away. One interesting thing to note - I saw a lot of frogs on the road! Building Santorini 26 with M3tric0n at 'The Avenue at Casey" Re: The Avenue at Casey 674Feb 05, 2011 9:15 am Hi all, We went out to dinner last night at about 6:15pm and then could not get back home to The Avenue. We ended up coming to my mum's in Vermont South to stay for the night and so we have no idea if our house is alright. Out neighbour said the water was up our brickwork and we are in one of the lowest blocks in the estate, so hopefully it hasn't come in. It was almost better not being there because there is nothing we could have done anyway. We're also worried about our roof, which we reported to our builder and have heard nothing back from. There are holes in it apparently. GREAT!!! Will let you know how we go.

Doesn't sound good. You couldn't be THAT unlucky. Surely? Your place is pretty high though - I reckon you'll be okay. Building Carlisle Homes "Monaco" @ The Avenue at Casey What's happening?...

Re: The Avenue at Casey 677Feb 05, 2011 9:44 am Your intrepid reporter has been out early this morning and taken some photos. Check out my blog (link below) if you want to see them. The only roads that were badly flooded were William Thwaites and Moutain View. I was speaking to my SS who said that the dam at the Market Garden flooded and it has done it before. There were vegetables as far down as Burford Way when I went out for a sticky this morning. kayjay Building Santorini 26 with M3tric0n at 'The Avenue at Casey" Re: The Avenue at Casey 678Feb 05, 2011 9:49 am Syrus Reinsey You couldn't be THAT unlucky.

Your place looked pretty good when I passed this morning. There is very little water around there if any. i don't know what it was like last night though. kayjay Building Santorini 26 with M3tric0n at 'The Avenue at Casey" Re: The Avenue at Casey 679Feb 05, 2011 10:04 am kayjay67 Your intrepid reporter has been out early this morning and taken some photos.

I'm guessing that our area is not too bad, especially if the worst of it has come from the overflow of the market gardens down Mountain View. Ironic that we have a flood overlay on our block, although our 2 month old scrape is probably completely submerged. Building Carlisle Homes "Monaco" @ The Avenue at Casey What's happening?...

We were driving around from about 10.00 p.m. last night and internal roads were good. Were the houses along William Thwaites affected?
