It's a normal day at the office for Dave De Grancy and his fellow earthmovers, sharing a laugh and working around the clock to maintain the extensive system of levee banks protecting Riverland towns.
Murray River floodwaters are slowly travelling downstream from Renmark. It's currently at a peak of 190 gigalitres a day, about 2 metres higher than usual.
However, workers such as Dave will stay on the job, working tirelessly to reinforce the temporary banks against the strong flows and the threat of wind damage.
