Result of 87 mm rain in 5 days, from the east coast low which has caused terrible flooding on NSW (Australia) coast. We are 400 km inland so didnt get the 400 mm or more on the coast. Luckily only lost few creek fences and had to move some cattle to "drier" pastures. The drone was useful to check where sheep and cattle were. Should have a great soil moisture profile for spring.

Looks like one of my neighbors who gets a little carried away with flood irrigation. Once it dries out it should grown grass come spring time for you.
 
It looks like a good thing for you Lyn. We have just been constantly waterlogged here for over 18 months. We've just been through a 3 week drought then just 30mm has put us back to square one. Clover is going to be massive in spring. Getting around the place is the big challenge. I might have to look into a drone, could be handy finding my cows in my scrub block, I put 34 in there early April and only got 32 out a couple of weeks ago. I suspect trees have come down on them or bogged. Not much holding the trees up at the moment, a bit of a blow and they are down everywhere.
