How close are you to the river as that might provide some slight cool breezes. Mind you a few years ago it also introduced water features or frontages to many homes in that neck of the woods. Was your place affected or were you one of the lucky ones just marooned high and dry?
Yeah, nah nowhere near the river. at the top of a hill, was a good place to buy and 2011 confirmed that! Bellbowrie actually wasn't as bad as the media made out in 2011, so far as number of properties flooding, it just got cut off and the local Coles (near the river, went under) so quite a few people with no power were running out of food etc. (not our place, it had power too). but a lot of the locals helped each other out, the waters went down, they hosed out Coles and a few houses on near the river and it was business as usual.
