Rain is here
The rain came down hard here today but there was much more to the east of us. The first picture is of the bridge into Mum's house just after lunch and the second one was just before dark. When the creek goes down I've got a lot of work to do plus all the balks are washed out. The last time the creek was over the bridge was in 1988.

Rain!
Talk about 12 months of contrasts!
One year ago local (and most eastern-state farmers) were staring down the barrel of a 7th, 8th and in some cases 9th crop failure. Now you should see the place; It's like a different planet. The cereal crops are the best I have seen them for a very, very long time. The dams are full to the brim & those that had the forsight (and cash) to enlarge their water storage while they were empty are now reaping the benefits. Now we face a couple problems: Those in low-lying & flat country are watching portions of their crops drown... (however I am yet to hear any complaints) The crops need spraying in many cases, however the ground is too wet to get on it! Some are able to use aerial spraying contractors, but some can't find somewhere for them to safely land! Another problem just around the corner is the grasshoppers. All & sundry are predicting a locust plague this spring. Hopefully all the crops are off & into storage before these little bastards turn up. But, all in all, it is shaping up to be a bumper year. I'll post some photos this afternoon

The bridge up the paddock held so I was able to get Mum's car out by loadeing it onto a trailer and towing it behind a tractor across two properties and back up the main road, ten Km trip to get the car five hundred meters from the house
I carted twenty five meters of clay into the aproach today, it hasn't filled much of the gap
