At Greencape, the strongest wind recorded was 135 kilometres per hour (3 knots) at 10.29pm.

The Garden of Eden Caravan Park recorded 23.4 millimetres of rain on Wednesday morning at 9am and 15.2mm of rain on Tuesday morning.

Already this month 15.8 more rain has fallen on Eden than in July which had a total of 22.8mm.

The total for the year was 535.01mm.

The Eurobdalla had even more rain than us. In the 24 hours to Wednesday, Batemans bay recorded 94mm, Moruya Heads 116mm and Moruya 115mm.

Extreme weather caused widespread damage to the electricity infrastructure in the Bega Valley over the weekend and additional crews were mobilised from Moruya.

Calls began to flood into Country Energy from 7.30 from Eden, Brogo, Bemboka, Candelo, Merimbula, Millingandi, Mogilla, Pambula and Tantawanglo however bad weather continued to cause trouble for crews throughout the weekend.

Eden was thrown into darkness by a blackout at around 11.30pm, just after the AFL telecast concluded and moments before the start of a professional belly dancing demonstration at the Great Southern Inn.

“The electricity infrastructure was damaged in a number of places caused mainly by debris being blown onto the network which left many people without power,” Country Energy’s regional general manager south eastern, David Bellew said.

“The main powerline which supplies the Eden area was hit hard by the strong winds, with major repairs necessary at Millingandi where wires had been brought down by trees.

“The winds in the area over the course of the weekend were so strong that the roof of a shed was blown onto powerlines at Mogilla, snapping the powerlines,” he said.
