The Weather Bureau says it's a highly unlikely event, with only a two per cent chance of that amount of rain falling in Charleville in any given year."That amount of rain in that short of time definitely causes problems with our drainage systems," he said."We just need to be patient and we're expecting within the next two to three hours that water will dissipate through the drainage system and through the gully.
Property owners Bec and Russell Tickell said while some fences came down and there was damage to roads, they welcomed the rain."Yesterday we could walk from one side of the house dam to the other, it was so dry, now it's overflowing.Ms Tickell said the kids were "having a ball" playing with their boogie boards in the mud.Jenni Mazlin-Law, who lives across the road from Bradley’s Gully, which runs through town said it had been "very, very, torrential, heavy rain".
“The water has backed up in the creek and it has flooded all over the street and it’s come across the road, it’s come right up to the driveways and completely blocked the road."It’s not draining away as quick as we would like.”CourtsPhoto shows Tanya Plibersek looks to the left while speaking in Question TimePhoto shows Two men in suits shake hands in front of flags of Australia and China.
