Christmas Day Floods 2011
Flood waters severely impacted some residents late in the afternoon in Nillumbik and Banyule particularly with severe hail stones also being reported in the area. Roads, drains, cars, homes and fences were in some cases destroyed by the torrent of water caused by the storm, with many long term residents claiming they had never seen anything like it. Contributions welcome
" We were lucky to be home or else we would have been flooded as three of us were madly sweeping the water away from the backdoor and down the drive where it probably went down the neighbours drive opposite and under their front door but at the time I was too busy to think of that, a good way of celebrating ones 70th Birthday." - Noel Greensborough
