Sydney is taking a real battering at the moment. It hasn’t stopped raining HARD in 2 days. Worst storm in rain and wind strength in 5 years they say. 3 people are dead so far from flooding.
The city cannot cope with this much rain on its streets. Broken umbrellas lay abandoned on the streets, girls screaming from the rain, sirens from ambalances every 5 minutes.
Outside of Sydney people are without power, generators are sold out and there are waiting lists for the next delivery. .
Outside the Cousin Jacks store the large umbrella got torn down by the wind narrowing missing people.
This Easter long weekend all the family went to stay at Sannas mums holiday house she is building at Lake Conjola 3.5 hrs drive south of Sydney.
We hired a couple of small boats for 3 hours for $70 each and went for a explore.
Basima and me were steering all the way. I was wearing Basma’s sunnies and school girl hat, i didnt take mine, it was expecting to rain all weekend.
We stopped at a small village called ‘Fishermans Paradise’ and played on the rope swing with the local kids.
On the way back it was so shallow we grounded out a few times on the sandy bottom.
In the afternoon Sanna and I walked over to Green Island which is only accessible over the black rocks at low tide. The island felt nice and remote, no evidence of other people on the island.
