Just when the fellas thought it was good to go & make a start on the harvest it decided to rain. AND rain we have had. Since La la's birthday on 24th Nov we have had 670 points or 167.5 ml That has put the harvest on hold for a few weeks waiting for the ground to dry out. Then it will be fun trying to harvest in the event that we don't get the Header, the semi or any other implement bogged getting the grain out of the paddocks. It has been said that you could 'boogie board' behind a vehicle from Spotty Tink's at Green Swamp all the way to Grosser's Corner!

Pa surveying the dam on Norton's corner paddock. This one hasn't been filled for many years. The water is rushing around the back of the home block & has filled the middle dam as well.
Spotty Tink's wheat crop at Grosser's Corner.
Plenty of water at Grosser's Corner. Now that the ground is full from the Winter rains it has laid a lot more water & is now flowing off to the Nalang Creek.
Water lapping the side of the South Lillimur Road just up from our house & flowing over Pa's bank into the wheat crop.
The road between the home block & the Hay shed has become a river!
