These pics were taken on Monday, so effectively 48 hours after the flooding had passed!
As you'll see - there's still plenty of water about!!
This is a section of the post and rail fence that ended up washed up across the driveway...

The build up of washed up crud in the corners of each of the paddocks, all sorts of items could be found in these, including bottles, jump poles... ohh yeah and the odd wheelie bin!!

This telegraph pole (which i had once tried to move and failed miserably due to its heaviness) was washed all the way up from the very bottom corner of the property and ended up in Chino's paddock!!

The fence in Chino's paddock, covered in grass where it was completely underwater. We found Chino two paddocks over, don't really know how he got there, but now he is stuck there, since the gate is stuck at one end and still under water at the other!! At least he got out of this one...

This entire area was under water...

This is the corner of one of the paddocks, as you can see by the grass it too went under, I stood next to it to get an idea of how deep the water would have been, and this is up to my head. Note, there is still water running into the paddocks on the other side of the fence.

This used to be a paddock!! It's now a lake and a new family of ducks has called it home. There's a massive ditch in there and that water would be well and truly over you're head, goodness knows whats washed up in there that we'll find if the water ever goes down, you can see the odd pole sticking out here and there!!

This paddock used to be two paddocks, the entire fence down the middle has been washed away. We are pretty sure this is where Clover managed to escape, knocking out this bit of fence, and how she managed to get herself into such a state. We think Thunder probably followed her out and was grateful for her escape route!

The end of Chino's new paddock...still under water, note the water bin stuck in fence, hee hee!

Whats left of the driveway after all the bitumen washed away...

If you look at this picture and look for the point where the grass stops in the distance, on the left hand side at the bottom of the hill, that's where these jump poles started, they washed all the way through all the paddocks and ended up here...

Finally, this is the paddock where Blaze & Jed (& Clover - post her escape!!) weathered out the storm, again by the grass you can see that this entire paddock was under water, all the way up the hill to the top fence where it then rushed across the flat and down the driveway. The poor things would have been stood in water, but thankfully if they went right up the top, it wasn't more than about a foot high.

Its a god damn arms race....
wow... quite a site....
excuse me but hwo is Jed and how did Calvin go??!!??
sight!!! AHAHA me being lazy again!!!
Jed is Ben's horse - he comes from the valley and is friends with Blaze!!
Calvin was fine, his paddock goes almost all the way up to the house, so he would have been able to go all the way up there, but a fair chuck of his paddock was under water too!!
