'you can never step into the same river twice'.
My sister's birthday was actually on Monday the 14th
There were about 30 turtles swimming in the river on the day of my sister's birthday lunch and the children were feeding them with food supplied by the Historic Rivermill.
I just hope those turtles didn't get washed downstream in the floodwaters on the weekend, and I would imagine that there is a lot more mud in the pigsty now ... river mud that is.
I would imagine the outdoor eating area went under in the flood, as well. 
Not to mention the alpaca's enclosure:-(
And I hope the crows up in the tree who I made friends with on the day were OK in all of that weekend torrential rain.

Just over two weeks ago I attended my sister's birthday lunch at the Historic Rivermill situated on the bank of the Coomera River just outside Brisbane.
And today I see on the Historic Rivermill's Instagram page a video of what the weekend's astronomical rainfall in the southern part of the state has turned what was a pleasant river full of turtles into.
