Water Speaks ....

In 2017 the North Midlands received an unseasonable amount of rain in summer and autumn due to successive storms.
The video on the left is of floodwaters moving down Macpherson Street, the main street of Carnamah. It was taken from the front door of The Bank Gallery. A few houses, the IGA, the local tyre shop and parts of The Exchange flooded (some of them multiple times in a few months). The video on the right is of a hail and rain storm, from autumn of 2017. Carnamah copped a shower of hail, which filled the gutters of many buildings... and then it rained. So much water poured into The Bank Gallery... a week before it was due to open for the first time! It was like someone had a fire hose on. Water went through the ceiling with water dyed black by ceiling dust running down the newly painted walls. Video & words by Andrew Bowman-Bright.
