Wet Weather in the Hills!

After the very wet weekend here in the hills there has been talk of Lake Leschenaultia overflowing this week, so we thought we would check our photos for extreme weather in the hills.

Jane Brook starts near Pioneer Park in Mt Helena and works its way down through John Forrest NP and Hovea Falls, through both Swan View and the suburb of Jane Brook, across Toodyay Road, then continues through Middle Swan close to Roe Highway through various vineyards and into the Swan River.

We would like some more old photos of Lake Leschenaultia especially in flood. Take a look at our other Facebook page - Lost Mundaring Stories - and you will see 3 short videos of the lake overflowing.
