The photographs that follow show the most damaged corners, which are the "inner" corners where storm water was funnelled down to the road to pass through concrete drains under the road, to continue the downhill flow. The amount of water and mud was too great for the drains and spewed across the road and the road edge collapsed.
Following a storm on the night of 1 March 2011, many trees were brought down. Local property owners cut a way through to allow Spickett Creek residents to get home that night.
Council cleared the road on Thursday 3 March 2011, for which the Spickett Creek residents are very grateful.
