like I said at this point we have lost so much with the drought that having excess water is hardly anything for me to complain about - it might have its own set of challenges, but its a blessing none the less.
I do believe that the dam will hold this time round, we will just have to monitor the overflow closely - and seeing that we cant drive to the dam at this stage, I guess my gum-boots will get a bit of wear LOL
Good luck on your side of the world, let us know if we should send a rescue boat :)
