Somerset Dam Adventures...

Nanna Joyce and the boys on a wet trip to see the gates at the Dam.




Very thankful we were not driving under this thing the moment it fell!




A rainy week, a Saturday, and a desire to get out, we set off. We had heard of the gates open at Somerset with all the record rainfall.
Driving through Mt Glorious however we were stopped by this huge fallen tree across the road. Joseph assessing the situation, probably could have driven through...he mildly boasted! But seeing the long line of cars behind him, he did the gentlemanly thing with his trusty Discovery and pulled the tree off the road! He loved it.
It was a beautiful drive after this, everything so lush and green and wet. Creeks, waterfalls, dams full and overflowing. Prayers answered!
