I have entered a competition for those of us that were affected by the floods.

We were flooded for over 3 months during the time that Brisbane flooded for a day or so.
We lost our crops as they drowned from the constant rain. We reseeded but alas hubby is ploughing again now to reseed, as it is better to seed this time of year, so we are hoping for a better turn out this time.
Our cattle were 'starved' above the house with us having to hand roll out round bales in the mud. We could not use any machinery to help feed them or to get them off the property as light tractors were sinking on the top of the hill where we don't normally get bogged.
The flood water was much higher and faster than usual, (we are actually set up for floods) and kept taking our fences away. I would spend a week putting them up. Let the cattle out and call them up again in the afternoon as we would flood again and the fences were taken away again. They were taken away at least 3 times.
Sigh all I can really say is, "Bring on the next drought".
