Massive Thunderstorm
A massive thunderstorm developed around us yesterday, it was incredible watching the mammatus cloud form to the south east. We got a brief downpour, much to the horses disgust, but it wasn’t even enough to settle the dust.

Storms around us
A summer thunderstorm rolled around us today, a bit of rain would have made a nice change but it was like we had a bubble around us that it just floated over. Everything is so dry and brown, the horses are enjoying taking turns coming in to the house paddock …

Blackwood flooding in December
Fairly heavy rains upriver from us in the Blackwood Valley catchment area caused the Blackwood River to flood this year. Although we did not get any rain here, both ends of our road were closed for a few days – something that we honestly did not expect to see again …
