Gday all,
Just received a call from my old man to say that the Lake Goldsmith steam rally site has been flooded out, the sheds down the bottom end, beleive it or not, have been in over 2m's of water. Theres been a lot of damage obviously with many engines/ tractors/litrature. There is a working bee on this coming sunday (23rd) which a few of us are attending, hopefully there's alot that can be saved.
Check out the video on you tube "Lake goldsmith Flood 14 January"
Regards,
Slim

Here are a few pics from Lake Goldsmith that were sent to me and taken last weekend and show the extent of the flooding.
