I had a big gardening effort last night to try and contain the growth of my garden after the recent rains. The neighbours told me the paddock over the road was flooded, but it was a flash flood, not a riverine flood, and subsided quickly. Benalla seemed to get off rather lightly compared to neighbouring towns.

- a connection with nature (especially in the Blackburn bushland).
Although l have a grumpy knee and it's a struggle, the overall benefits are resoundingly positive.
