Thanks for the pictures and footage as we've seen little on TV here in Brisbane. I hope your property losses haven't been too severe.
Take care.

So you decided to single-handedly end the drought in one day? That's an awesome display of nature. I hope no one was hurt and you can recover quickly. It looks like your computer and electronics were uneffected.
Best of fortune to you.

Great coverage Correy.
Wish i was there for it. One positive is that we dont have to listen to those old folks talking about the 54 anymore.

Thank you for sharing your world with us! Down here in drought-stricken Melbourne we have been glued to the news on TV at nights watching your floods... and wishing you could somehow send some of that glorious water our way... anyway, we are certainly glad our favourite Fruit Tree Nursery survived!

What brilliant footage. Hope the damage at the nursery is not too bad and that the whole township can recover from the damage. Best of luck with the cleanup.

I was lucky to get my last order from you then with the water level that high, sure my 600m sq block looks like an orchard now with trees everywhere but be sure I will find a little more room for more :)

After seven years drought the rain is welcomed. But it would have been nicer had it come over a longer period. Hope you didn't suffer too much damage.
It has been said a problem shared is a problem half solved. I empathise. Good luck!

Amazing film, glad you did not suffer too much damage. We can only imagine
what it would be like to be surrounded by so much water.
We are 35 kilometers east of Perth and experiencing our first real hot
summer for some years with some very hot days up to 40 degrees. Our five
acres of bush was under threat last week but from fire. We were lucky the
wind changed. My little finger lime was taken in side along with my wollemi
pine the rest of the pots were dumped in the bush until the risk was over.
It's really nice to meet the staff.
Best wishes to you all for a wonderful new year.

thanks so much for your email. I can imagine how heart wrenching the floods must be, for you.
I have photo's taken from the passing XPT travelling south on a QLD. holiday. I admired the countryside so much. A beautiful place. Hope there hasn't been to much damage to your property & wonderful orchards.
Please keep me posted. I love gardening & especially, anything regarding plants that produce fruit & vegetables. Once again, good luck & keep me in touch

It's hard to imagine that amount of rainfall, I was a teenager when the 74 floods occurred in Brisbane. How did the nursery cope with the deluge? Thank you for your correspondence...I always enjoy the reading and when I find that piece of land...I intend on growing all the trees that interest me.

Luckily Daley's nursery is on a little rise in the surrounding paddock so the water did not come into the nursery - well only the bottom edges of the citrus lanes and the lowest part of poly 9, nothing major. The orchard has had a deep soaking but once again there was no major damage which was very fortunate. We are searching for some very tall people approx 4m to help mend the hail netting, so let us know if there are any long reaching souls who can sew.

That was close. I hope that you are able to recover from the floods and hope you are to build your business.

Hi, The video was incredible. I hope the clean-up doesn't take too long. In the old days when the creeks flooded, you watched the dunnies float down river, then when it was over, you had to go and find yours and bring it home. Thankfully you don't have to worry about that. Please post a photo of that signpost alongside the flooded signpost. Thanks and good luck. Dianna.
