"She looks like a tiny wolfhound, or a not-quite-right schnauzer, or the distorted shadow of a husky." Thankfully Audrey can't read (yet) or this would go straight to her head. Iconic @sheppartonnews swan song from her pal @maxstainkamph 💕 Thank you! sheppnews.com.au/news/frisbe…

A massive levee is being constructed in Echuca to help protect the town from flooding. I spent an evening with people who live on the 'wrong' side of that levee, who's homes have been cut off from the rest of town. This is their story. 📝#vicfloods riverineherald.com.au/news/a…

The only entrance into the centre of Shepparton is congested with traffic and causing issues for essential services, motorists are being asked to only travel along Doyles Rd where necessary @sheppartonnews

Some more photos from around Echuca today. The sandbags hundreds of people have been working so hard to make have been put to good use - crews and the ADF have worked hard to reinforce existing protections, while residents in Echuca East have sandbagged their homes. #vicfloods

See today’s paper for free here - sheppartonnews.pressreader.c…. We’re just trying to do our bit for the community like all of you are out there. #vicfloods
I’m unlikely to be awake early enough to give you the details myself - too many 20-hour days in a row catching up to me - but we will have plenty of print copies of tomorrow’s paper to distribute throughout the community and we will be removing the paywall on the digital replica.
Major flooding has peaked at Shepparton at 12.06m, no further river rises are expected at Shepparton @sheppartonnews

One last push before we all collectively brace for the peak. The Showgrounds is still in need of volunteers, and will be until around midnight. @sheppartonnews #vicfloods

Archer street is now blocked from Broken River drive. A couple of brave souls trying to make their way through the water (don’t do this!). Residents have informed me there have been multiple snake spottings in this area today as well. Stay safe people! @sheppartonnews
