Hamish & Jodie McTaggart - The catastrophic Christmas flood of 2010 [Repost]

[Reposted episode, recorded in 2021] In December 2010, Jodie and Hamish McTaggart were looking forward to the chance to sit back and relax for a few days. The family property, Bidgemia Station, was in the worst drought on record, and the newlyweds had been working flat out all year to look after their cattle. So, when news of rain in the forecast came through the Bush Telegraph, the sense of relief and joy was palpable. However, those feelings were to be short lived, as floodwaters began to exceed anything experienced in the stations’ 130 years. What happened next was both catastrophic, and the literal definition of a water-shed moment. In this episode, both Jodie and Hamish recount their experience of the flood, 10 years later.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
