Well Ya better be wearing your Wellies..............
The Blackwood River spills onto the Boyup Brook-Arthur River Road in the vicinity of Dinninup, about 280km south-east of Perth.
Makeshift levees have been constructed on the banks of Blackwood River in Boyup Brook in an attempt to stop water impacting on an annual country music festival.
Event organiser Sharon Winter said she never expected flooding to be a problem in February.
"I've been involved for 21 years and I've never experienced this," she said.
"Without the people building this wall, this whole area would definitely be underwater."

That's water has got a bit too much flow in it to consider crossing eh? I wouldn't be with a van!!
What a shame for the festival....last thing you'd expect to hamper it in February!!!
There is however, some good news....
A levy built in Boyup Brook to protect a country music festival has held, despite the Blackwood River peaking at 5.28m above normal levels there.
Event organisers said the festival would be moved to higher ground as a precaution with water stopping just five centimetres shy of the top of the wall.
