Cloud burst floods Pine Creek area with six foot water surge
A sudden cloudburst near Burrs caused a six foot high wall of water to rush over Pine Crest and Pine Creek Stations, sweeping fences, debris, and trees. It drenched Stuart's Well and Bendigo Station, with dust clouds preceding the flood. Local observer Ivan Gere called it unique in years of the Nicola district. Another similar downpour hit Quorm on Sunday.
