Media Commitments...

Back in February at the height of the floods here, we did an article with the George Negus program 6pm (now known as 6:30).



This was the one of the first in a looooong list of media reports/interviews/articles that the Benjeroop community have had since the January 2011 Floods.

Crikey!!

Oh my Goodness, has it really been that long since I posted on my blog??
I have been neglecting it a little, instead posting and wasting a LOT of time on Facebook instead.

I see my last post was August when the Loddon River came up nearly to the bottom of the bridge here at Benjeroop...well...that's nothing!!

January 2011 will always be remembered for disasters...Flooding in QLD, Cyclone Yasi...and Flooding in northern Victoria and we copped it big time!

Our entire farm was inundated.

This is an aerial shot of our house.....


Fortunately, our house was saved, Hubby spent many long days and nights checking the levee bank and even had another 2 feet added because the water was rising so much and so fast.

Unfortuantely though many houses were inundated including my inlaws, the levee around their place just had no hope & there was simply not enough time to add more height to it when they realised the water was coming their way.


Hubby is starting to get back on some of the ground and is madly trying to get some seed sown so we can get some stock feed growing and get our sheep back on our own property again...

Anyway, that'll do for now, I promise when I have more time one day, I'll post heaps more pics!
Here's one of our hayshed...see those round bales, they're floating!!
