bencourtice<p>Sad dawn scene: old farm shed with encroaching suburban development at the other side of the paddock. This is right on the floodplain at Bacchus Marsh. The town is not known for heavy rainfall, more the lack thereof, but floods will inevitably occur sooner or later. The houses are all built up a bit above ground level now, so the water they displace will make the damage worse at houses like mine that were built longer ago. <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/urbanSprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urbanSprawl</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climatechange</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/floodplain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>floodplain</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/floods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>floods</span></a></p>
