Another beautiful day at Magpie Creek Farm Stay

Scenic Rim Flood Warnings
Lots more rain at the farm. Horses are all in the stables, we are nice and dry inside and the grass is getting longer and greener every day. That’s our driveway floating down the street.
The Mundoolun Connection Rd is under water and closed for cars driving north to Beenleigh or Beaudesert.
There are lots of areas driving into Canungra which now have water totally over the road.
Drive carefully – and it’s it flooded – don’t drive through.
Road closures can be found on the Scenic Rim Disaster Dashboard.
Thanks for the rain – now let’s have some sunshine.

Bring out the umbrella!
Look at the green grass in the paddock – we haven’t seen such green grass for nearly 12 months, and now the summer rain has finally arrived – weather forecasters are predicting bucket loads of rain over the next week. It’s gumboots and rain coat time – and we’ll loving it!
90 mm of rain overnight
Everyone is happy at the farm.
With 90 mm (3.5 inches) of rain overnight – we’ve got lots of puddles and the water tanks are overflowing. The water is at the very top of the pool and the ducks are having a great time.
The grass is greening up and growing in some spots. Of course – there’s still a lot of areas that are bare from the drought.
We now had as much rain this month, as we had for the last 12 months.
A great way to start the year!
Rainbows and ducks – I think the rain is coming
A lovely day at the farm, light showers, rainbows and those pesky ducks still swimming in the pool.
We are hoping for lots of rain over the coming days to wash away the smoke and clear the sky.
Let’s hope the rain spreads all over Australia.
It’s raining!
We asked for Rain and now it’s pouring.
Happy Christmas to all.
We’ve loved having guests from all around the world throughout the year and look forward to hosting many more families in 2020.
All we want for Christmas is rain
5 days of rain and now some sunshine
We’ve loved the rain – it’s been dry and dusty all winter. Even the spring rain didn’t come September, now we’ve had October’s expected rainfall in one week. We can see the grass and the weeds growing instantly, and the horses love it. They are ready to play.
We’ve called her Charlotte
The foal is now 17 days old and we’ve called her Charlotte. Thanks Tom for suggesting the name.
Today she is enjoying her first experience with rain.
There is a hint of rain
The birds are going crazy, I think they know there’s a little bit of rain coming today. So they are all sitting on the water bins and fences, and it’s just about to rain – don’t think we will get much but hopefully enough to keep the dust down.
