Here what we got for christmas. Sum dirty water! Out of Kings creek which is south of the town of Toowoomba. This is the second biggest flood thats been through our place in the 60 years it been in the family the last one being in may 1987. There was 3ft of water through the dairy and 16 inchs went under the house and in the lundery. Every shed has had water through it even the hayshed hopeing the round bales that are stacked on there end havent absorbed to much water and get hot. Lost about 50 ton of silage that got washed away and about half the fences on the home farm are flatend. Lucky it was raining on boxing day night and i didnt unhook the trailer off the tractor and put it in the shed because the speed the water came at when it peeked we wouldnt of had a chance to save all the tools and power equipment out of the workshop befor it went under. Also blowed our dam on another farm so we wont be irragating out of that for a while. This was caused by 8 inchs of rain in 36 hrs on already sterated country thats been getting rain nearly every week for the last 6 months. This time last year when we couldnt even get a shower to lay the dust. Least we didnt get water in the house and we havent found any thing thats been washed away yet. Now we just have to move all the unharvested barley that washed down from upstream and is piled up around every thing.
