This Flood Has Destroyed Pittown In The Hawkesbury Valley Australia.

[@CraftedbyMonnowLane]

First time I've been able to see these areas. Shocking. Thanks for sharing

[@elisekellett2378]

That is just astonishing how quickly the waters have receded after being so high. It's surreal. Seeing everything today with the sun shining it's hard to imagine how it looked a week ago. I hope people can recover from this tragedy.

[@suzannerosemaryday234]

The council need to be held to account. To allow homes in flood zone.

[@tobybrown1179]

Developers lobby councils to build as well, so documents will show who is liable

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Happens Australia wide. Brisbane, NSW coast, and a LOT of new development in both Melbourne and Adelaide outskirts. Brisbane flooded twice in a decade. Try getting insurance on that. I am sure councils have magical out on accountability!

[@fcy9722]

Rip Sydney urban planning.

New subscriber here! So good to see another Hawkesbury KZbinr! One of my subscribers directed me here for me to see this video. I'll share it with my subscribers. What a bloody awful few years everyone has had.

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

thank you

[@evanpartridge9248]

Can tell he’s a fisherman, stretching the story a little 😁. Not all those houses near the servo went under. Just the low ones down closer to the cricket oval. Devastating for all those affected, especially the ones who had no long finished rebuilding from last years flood.

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

all the houses we drove past went under

[@evanmiris5765]

I feel sorry for all the people who have lost all their possession and homes, its wrong that they are allowed to build in flood plains and no insurance company will cover them.

[@Mr-Damage]

A lot of stuff that gets chucked can be cleaned and she's good as gold but we live in such a disposable society that first instinct today is to chuck it.

[@Thatguy-cb4qs]

That boundary road development was asking for trouble. Pitt Town is a Macquarie town, they rarely flood, the residents fought the development and the council was told but I guess that sweet development money was too tempting. These areas are very fertile because the river floods, why develop excellent (watered) agricultural land close to such a major city? Watch them raise the dam then build on the Richmond lowlands or develop on the university making Hobartville flood.

[@ripme6616]

Such a tragedy mate.. I know they had to open the gates on the dam but if they didn't would there still have been this flood..

[@brianfarmiloe678]

THANK YOU for your time and video off what people went through and how high the water level went

[@bushfishncook2128]

Gee sad to see the aftermath but like you said the creeks are going to be full of Bass 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing mate 👍🏼

[@jadey_babe5264]

I live in sth Windsor. Just driving around home is devastating.

[@eddiecochrane602]

I grew up knowing them as Willy Willies. Weird that there's no wind anywhere except that one spot!

[@jake_9170]

i was walking through one of the farms today that i work in on freeman’s reach road. would’ve been 20 bass stuck in a drain, all healthy looking bass too.

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

I wonder if its a developers plan to build new estates and flood the old so the old houses go for sale and the developers swoop in and build bigger estates.

[@aussieallstar66]

Past Hawkesbury floods in summer swept cabbages into houses that rotted in sun. Imagine the stench.

[@mountainconstructions]

It's going to be the same for Bush Fire prone areas. Insurance Company's just jack up the price.... House always Wins

[@haydo5l292]

I have been taking truck loads into boundary Rd and they have stuffed it

[@meerkat783]

What about camping ground?

[@nathanchambers7642]

That box was so creepy🤣

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

yes it was

[@georgefisher1719]

Aaron did you guys find the job site that day or was it a aquarium job bass hiding in the lounge room ?

[@yewtubez]

damn.. so you building insurance is around at least $10000+ for a $500k build in Pitt town?

[@somedumbozzie1539]

This is more like the floods of 74, what we all have to keep in mind is that we are not the only ones who live here this land needs floods and fires and is about to explode with new life the environment is not there for decoration.

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

yep well said

[@CroneFingrCraft]

Nothing worse than a possessed box!

[@CraftedbyMonnowLane]

Sorry I'm commenting as I see things. Devastating seeing everything on the side of the road. It also kills me because most of the furniture I work on is off the side of the road, and this stuff is unusable! what a waste.

[@tobybrown1179]

Who’d build in a flood zone 🤦🏿

[@rhyswoodman6781]

And what criminals develop and sell in flood zones?

[@adzoutnabout888]

I wonder how far down river the Bass will have to go to spawn if this rain keeps up…… Brooklyn ? 🤔

[@paulmerriman5222]

Get them always along juno shore every year get them down there

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

maybe

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

i get a lot of big eps spawning of juno in August but this year there has been no perch up river

[@badlordboris6238]

I watched this without the sound the first time and made up my own story. it was mostly about a guy that was really stoned and liked clouds

[@adzoutnabout888]

😂

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

lol

[@mitchhinesfishing9752]

You'll looking at my work the white box also drive passed you in the white truck with all the fertiliser in the back

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

we thought we were going nuts with that white box.

[@redplanet7163]

Nice to see the sky full of real clouds and not those nasty geo-engineering clouds (chemtrails) for a change.

[@Opal.Workshop]

Hahahahahahahaha I feel sorry for the guy driving trying to get to the job site

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

On a scale of 1 to Lismore, I'd give it a 6!

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

yeah i hope they get proper help out there disgusting how they have had to fend for themselves

[@ISCDesignArchitect]

well pointed out; its only gonna get worse and worse

[@michaellalanae7228]

Did it ruin the desert like setting of nothingness?with every tree cut down and nothing to capture the water .you get what you had coming to you .

[@boristherock8279]

Welcome to sunny Pittwater West

[@ansc6472]

Build a flood proof bridge over the Hawkesbury River

[@petersajkic6749]

Where exactly??

[@WindsorBaitAndTackle]

overhead like the one at south Windsor but from kfc Richmond across to northo

[@ansc6472]

Pitt town to Wilberforce , Sackville north to Ebenezer, Agnes banks to north Richmond

[@RevIt66]

Possessed box, that can't be good, lol

[@royferntorp3575]

Land prices will be 100 bucks an acre. LOL

[@bennywest5981]

Biblical scripture weather wars , order out of chaos , cloud seeding ?

[@tobybrown1179]

No, my lng term forecaster has stated, most likely to happen another once or twice 2022/2023

[@MrTo3cutta]

Quote " new housing estates didnt get flooed out but the old housing estates did." No sh*t sherlock. And it wasnt as a result of accelerated stormwater... although a small contributing factor, it was a result of the fact that Warragamba was already full as well as a large slow moving rain cell dumping huge amounts. You must be new around here......

[@petersajkic6749]

Where you think all the floodwater from the new housing estates ends up?true the level of warragamba dam hasn't helped but they opened the gates of the dam in 89 too.

[@MrTo3cutta]

@@petersajkic6749 in '89 the dam was manually controlled.... and the people up there were idiots.

[@petersajkic6749]

@@MrTo3cutta also I think it was 90 not 89

[@MrTo3cutta]

@@petersajkic6749 also 88

[@MrTo3cutta]

It was 88 I was thinking of. We had 2 floods that year... May and July.
