Rain at last the skies have opened up,been a long time coming to Benalla.
How has everyone else fared as I know it pretty severe in Melbourne and in Queensland has anyone been flooded out or have you been lucky enough to escape that?.

So pleased you have had nice rain.I have had almost 10 inches in the last week up here and it is still raining lightly as I speak.Definitely around here most people reckon we have just about had enough for time being and is time for you people to get some.

Yea I love it! I'm thankful! Though the golf ball sized hail I could do without lol. Yea it sure is great when it rains, always loved the look and sound of rain, and it is romantic when indoors with a loved one. grin

It is still raining here tonight. We didn't cop it bad but the next town 15 minutes away did. Cars had their windows smashed. A couple of houses flooded. That is what I've heard of so far from one of the guys at work. Haven't heard of anything else yet. My friends interstate had seen it on the news and called me to see if we were ok. I laughed because they knew more than me. wow

Its good to see most have come through ok.I would like about another 2or three metres in the next couple of months to fill the dams and well.Rainwater tanks overflowing 60,000 litres so well easy see through to winter.

Out with the White King Shell to kill that scald.Oh miss my horses not fair.crying

YAY! raining in Canberra again - twice in 3 weeks! a miracle - lots and lots of it but the storm, particularly the thunder is scaring the dogs and cos its raining they don't want to go outside at all. But it is all good.

Hope the rain has not ruined your world for those where the rain is just too much!

If you do use it make sure its 8 to 1 if not making headway bring down until 4to1 as some horses are more sensitive than others.

Iodine based is good but it is expensive.
