A big part of Queensland is flooded after heavy rain for the past week. Hundreds of Queenslanders have been evacuated to emergency centres because of flooding.
Picture from the Courier Mail shows Farmer Sheppard with his sons splashing in the sodden paddock.
One good thing is that the combined dam levels for the Brisbane area were yesterday afternoon 82.3% the best levels since 2002.
I have been in the outback in September. It was so dry. I am glad for the graziers and farmers out there to get such a good rainfall. Also for us the dams are full, Hinz dam is overflowing.

ReplyDeleteThat is what you call "joys of the eyes of the graziers and farmers" - the inconvenience is nothing compared to the end result. It is GREAT!
Those "muddy kids" and note carefully how trim and taunt they are, are having the time of their lives. Great posting - I love it.
Cheers mate and well posted

How much fun is that! I can understand playing in the rain and mud. I love it when the dams would fill. No/low water is such a bummer.
ReplyDeleteThey sure look happy! Rain - we either get too much or not enough, but these clouds seem to have a silver lining.
ReplyDeleteWhen the water comes it is more than lovely!
