It's raining.

Hi we are still in Derby. It started raining a couple of days ago and forgot to stop. We were camped on a flowing whitewater river bank. The van was about 4 meters above the river level. The river level has been increasing gradually for a few days, resulting in the bridge in town being eroded at the base so out of action.
Last night we moved the van to higher ground after a tree near us came down into the river.
Garry and I would like to move on to St Helens but all of the roads that side of derby are currently closed due to flood damage. We could head back towards Launceston but would prefer not to go back tracking.
So we are waiting it out. It is still drizzling but the weather seems to be settling down.
The roads to the national park at Mt William are also out. So we will probably stay at St Helen and do a day trip once the rivers have settled down and roads opened again. Bye for now X X
