Flooding, Broken Pipes & Red Tree Frogs
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Rob Bob’s Aquaponics & Backyard Farm”.
G'Day Folks. We've received quite a fair bit of rain over the past few days which has led to more flooding, the discovery of some broken pipes & loads of Red Tree Frogs coming to visit.
Cheers all.

Rob: “Not happy Jan!” Me: “Don’t blame me!” 😂😂😂 Yes, ever since that Yellow pages ad, I get that a lot. Had to share the giggle. And yeah, I was going to say that your “lawn gurgle” sounded like a pipe or drain, rather than an erosion or nature made hole. Fingers crossed it’s an easy fix. If it helps, we’ve been in this house coming up 19 years and STILL unearth mysterious hoses and pipes connected to the network of watering systems that came with our largish suburban block (without a map or instructions). Tried figuring it out when we first moved in, never could find all the taps and switches, gave up, got a sprinkler. 😂
Wowser !
GREEN ACRES IS THE PLACE FOR ME
Greenacres is an old sitcom about farming life.
Wallabies out amongst the Rats Tail – oh the serenity!
When it rains it pours, not just metaphorically in this case. I have to admit I worry about you guys when you get flooded in.
200ml here over the last few days on the goldy and its still pizzing down
So what you really have there is a water park. 😉
I have seen construction sites around that utiliser some geotextiles held up with wooden stakes as a guard against erosion. That stuff is removed after construction ends, but it’s in use for up to 3 years. Perhaps you can look into something like that until your finances are such that you can afford the proper job. Daniel might be able to help you come up with a temporary solution.
We tried that on our place and not very successful
Remember the times in seq when there was little to no rain ever . Especially around the kilkivan area . I mean dry for decades . Hopefully that has changed for better or worse .
Every 11mm is a megaliter onto my property, yours would be a lot more. I used QGIS and 1×1 meter DEM files from the council to do a watershed analysis etc. it actually corresponds pretty well with what I observed on the ground over the last year. Not sure you need/want that but contact me if you need more info. The maps showing the water flows, and the wetness index maps are a great way of explaining what is going on with the landscape. R.e. erosion, I have been playing with shaped rock piles in places where the water velocity is destructive and a V shaped mound seems to work well, ask Danial Lawton about it. As for the frogs, give them an alternative place to hang out, near a solar powered lamp and you will have happy frogs, clear rain gauges, and less flying insect pests in your area. For termites we found that you can buy live nematodes that target them and other pests, I’ll be investigating biological controls more in future as we are looking at what achieving organic certification will take in our planned orchard. If you are looking at buying bulk trees in the next 6 months get in touch, we may be able to take advantage of economies of scale.
As someone from a desert, I can’t help it be envious of the amount of rain you are receiving. It’s interesting to see the other side of the coin. Here in Nevada rain is a luxury. I wish we could trade!
Your trying to save the frog reminds me of the time my brother tried to save a sugar glider. The cat brought it into the house, still alive so he caught it and put it on a tree trunk and a kookaburra flew down and snatched it to its doom.
You need to buy a jet ski.
Many years ago , I had traveled to Florida to go to work on an industrial construction job. I had gotten a motel room for the night, before I went out to get a soda from the machine I slipped my 1911 .45 behind my back (Come om folks it’s Florida gators, cotton moths.. This desert born wasn’t taking a chance.) There was a light over the machine just as I walked up something moved on top, stepping back I drew sighted then realized the whole top of the machine was covered by little frogs eating the bugs the light drew in.
The list never ends, just spent fixing the dam pump for the umpteenth time.
It looks fine though really. I should be an earth works specialist and get paid the big coin advising people on what to do , seems a no brainer 😁
Like the beard , mine stop growing about 3o years ago just changing colors to grey
Always the way you fix one thing and another one pops up🧰🐠
