Okay so we have gone past the known biggest flood here in 1981 or 1982...........unfortunately we have beaten it by about 5 inchs.........and that 5 inches went thru the workshop shed..............things are floating arounds in there...........OMG where do you start to clean a shed full of &%$#$ and some good stuff (you know a man's shed could look like).............trying to find where to put things up to was a challenge..........
even the kids "hurdie gurdie" is just about under water.........
this is the shed that got flooded...........
Water came up to the brick wall along the front of the house............
lucky the four wheeler can go lots of places.............
we have no idea how all the stock are............dh checked some but the creek runs thru our property and 1/2 is on the other side...........we have some fences washed away and with this size flood I guess most or all of the flood fences will be buggered.............so much for a "rest" over the next 2 weeks............it will be cleaning the shed and fencing and the mozzies are out in force already.............how can they do that so quick............

Oh you poor things! I hope you still manage to have a good Christmas and things dry out quickly! Take care, Lucy xx
Didn't you have a drought last year? It looks like an incredible amount of rain. Hope you manage to have a good Christmas in spite of all the water.
Oh Chook! I can't believe what I am seeing in these photos. We have had lots of rain here too, but nothing like that. My garden is so thankful, but yours looks like it is drowning. Will you be OK? Has it stopped? Do you have enough baked beans in the cupboard??
Hope it all receeds quickly, so you and yours can enjoy your Christmas.
It looks like the wheather goes from one extreme to the other at your place, my dear I hope you will manage to cope with all the water and you will be able to celebrate Christmas!
Oh my goodness! At least the children are getting some fun out of it. Hope you dry out soon. This will be a Christmas you soon won't forget!
Oh my goodness -- it seems to be just getting worse everyday!! I sure hope there is no more rain and you can have a good Christmas!!
We desperately need rain here but I think you have more than is good for you! Wow. Best of luck! And Merry Christmas.
Dear Donna your photos are amazing. We have had a fair amount of rain also but nothing like what you have received. Wishing you a dry Christmas day.
OMG!!!! So you REALLY don't need me to visit over January.
Just amazing since we know how dry it has been. Hope all livestock are ok and did you have crops in?
I'm sure I couldn't get in there even if I had the time......
Hope renos are going ok. Chat again soon.
What is it with Mother Nature?? Drought now flood.
Thinking of you all.
From droughts to flood with nothing in between. Ouch! I'm sending good thoughts your way!
Hope the rain stops so you can celebrate Christmas.I send you all my best wishes of a great Christmas with dry weather. Hugs from cold Norway.
I hope that the flood won't spoil your Christmas too much. It is pretty wet out there. Keep safe, Helen
Poor Donna!
I hope Christmas will be okay anyway...
I send you my best wishes, too...
Oh dear...
you are in my thoughts!!!
I wish you a merry christmas and a medium dry new year :0)
Best wishes!!
I feel very sorry for your sake, but I hope you will have a nice christmas anyway. Greetings from the north of Sweden where it´s snow and 6 degrees below zero.
I wish you a merry, merry christmas!
Hi Chooky,
It is feats or famine lately with this weather. We have had HEAPS of rain too but we are very sandy here on the peninsula so we don't flood. It just never seems to rain over our dam. DAMN! At least you are all ok and the chrissy pressies are safe 'n' sound! Nothing worse than being flooded AND having crying children. LOL have a wonderful Christmas and stay safe.

Oh, Donna, my heart goes out to you! Hope the water is retreating now, and that there won't be too much damages! And I hope you still will be able to enjoy Christmas! Take care!
How are you going over there ?? Hope you haven't floated away. A dam wall busted here so we thankfully didn't get flooding in any buildings. Had to pack up everything though !
Wow! You don't have rain for the longest time and now this! Hope it all gets absorbed soon! Keep well!
I hope this will settle soon. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
I'm wishing you and your family a MERRY CHRISTMAS and all the best for 2008.
OMG!! Didn't realise the extent of the rain up your way! Hope everything is ok. Best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful, dry and safe Christmas!
OMG that is just awful. I'm so sorry that your going thru this. We need rain something awful and your getting more than enough. Hang in there and let's hope you dry out soon.
Oh and I do know what a mans shed looks like. You should see my hubby's garage. OMG!!!! We could use a flood in there just to clean it out. LOL!!!!
Hope the stock is ok and the flood fences aren't too badly damaged. I also hop you will get some rest over the Christmas period.
Oh, Donna, that is a bit more rain than you had asked for, I believe. I hope it recedes soon. The beautiful flowers in each photo remind me of the beauty around despite terrible flooding. Thank you again for super Elf duties as head of the SSCS. I enjoyed the giving and the receiving. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
