During June we had 130 mm of rain. The land had become saturated. By mid July we had an additional 32.5 mm which caused Swamp Creek to flood over its lower banks. All Billabongs along the Creek are filled. There are large sheets of water over the surrounding paddocks. All dams on property filled to capacity and overflowing. The running water is clear, standing water looks a milky brown. Signs of minor erosion along the creek bed.
