oh great, more rain. as if we haven't had enough. council gonna do anything or just keep crossing fingers?

Luca Reid2026-07-08T17:38:56.000Z

nah council's too busy patting themselves on the back for a new bike lane. hope you're alright down there.

James O’Brien2026-07-08T18:15:56.000Z

mate we're up to our knees in silt again. sick of this.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-08T18:51:56.000Z

same here, mate. stay safe. the bridges are dodgy as.

interesting how they keep blaming 'weather events' and not the lack of drainage maintenance. just saying.

Rowan Blake2026-07-08T19:11:56.000Z

facts. the drains are a joke. I've seen puddles deeper than my future.

at least you've got a kayak... I've got 25 pairs of gumboots that are already soaked.

great, another day of wet shoes and trying to convince 30 kids that learning is fun while the playground floods. FML.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T19:18:56.000Z

seriously climate change is real and we're still not doing enough. this is just getting worse every year.

James O’Brien2026-07-08T19:29:56.000Z

nah they blame it on 'one in a hundred year events' every bloody month now.

Morgan Lee2026-07-08T19:26:56.000Z

commute's gonna be a nightmare again. already dreading the drive.
