The townsfolk of Avoca awoke to a surprise this morning after a wet and windy night.
The Avoca River was in flood with the water close to entering the Football Ground.
Link to photos.
For those that have seen floods in the past, this does not compare to the heights of some previous floods, but there was quite a lot of water flowing down the stream.
The scribe remembers swimming on the football oval in 1974. The water back then was over the top of the oval fence and was aproximately a foot over the floor of the old change rooms.
