Friday's heavy downpours were much-needed in so many parched areas to all parts of the compass from Bendigo.
In just a matter of minutes the City of Greater Bendigo was awash.
Unfortunately there was flooding of some homes, businesses and on roads in various suburbs.

As tempting as it may be, do not go swimming in flooded streets, creeks or streams.

Wherever you go and whatever you do, be careful.
