There's a garden underneath that water

It has rained here solidly for the past 51 hours and there's no sign of it stopping for another day or so. Unfortunately, thousands of people living in the Greater Sydney area have had to evacuate their homes again as the waters rise. Many homes are already inundated.

Thankfully the sunken garden in this photo was cleaned up a few weeks ago and the outlet pipe is now clear and doing its job. You can just see the water escaping at the foot of the wall.
