central west Queensland has been hit hard as well with major rain fall flooding that region. We have had about 3 inches in the past week and still have ongoing heavy showers but the worse seems to have gone for now at least.

Certainly is a land of contrasts at the moment . Rain and floods on the east coast and drought and bushfires on the west
Was out near Bourke on Thursday and Friday and the Castlereagh was in flood and all the rivers that feed in to it barr the Macquarie were running backwards with the volumes coming down So anyone downstream will be going to get wet feet shortly At Dubbo the low level bridge went under about 12 on Thursday Burrendong Dam is over 140% capacity so they have had to double the release to 44 Meg to try and relieve pressure thus maintaining high levels down the Macquarie

dam is now 148% +
Release increased to 58 Meg Wonder how strong that wall is ??? That would have it holding 4.5>5 times the capacity of Sydney Harbour Approx 1782000 Megalitres usually 1188000ML Took from 1946 to 1967 to build so it should be ok ..... A few more pics

Bloody water!
Water everywhere, Wagga Wagga expecting major flooding tonight...
To the Yass boys, You may be sending all of that water this way, but look at what is heading your way right now!  One or two 'hoppers to keep your pastures under control!

We've been off line for a few weeks as the computer is out of action and now we are borrowing Emma's. We sure had some rain here as well, one advantage of this hilly country we can't get flooded out only the poor people down stream in the flatter country cop all the water and flooding, we went for a drive to Gundagai and saw the water, there sure is a lot there spread out right across the flats under the bridge. We were flatout making hay before the rain came and now we're at a stand still as the paddocks are too boggy to get the machinery onto, now they are predicting more rain in the next couple of days maybe another couple of inches.Hope everyone is OK and not affected by the flooding too much.

Max you did well to get hay this year, I didn't try as it was too risky and I still had hay in the shed. Also the cattle are grasing the best hay paddocks as the floods have washed all the balks out on Mum's side of the property,
