2007 Queens Birthday FLood


Well the Hunter wont peak at Raymond Terrace until tomorrow afternoon, but already we have three acres under water. One yeasterday. We took in seven horses from next door, who'd taken the whole refugee herd from Woodville, they got their horses out just in time and left all their belongings behind. Nice people. Put the two mature racehorses and family of four minatures in with our cows.

Flood is peaking about now in Maitland. Bigger than 1971. Have friends evacuating, along with half the town. Expected to overtop the levees. Any time now.

Hoping we dont lose too much more ground tomorrow.
