Can you imagine the scenes? :^O , I had a giggle at the pig on the roof.... because we used to have a piggery and I know how stubborn and set in their ways pigs are, how hard will it be to get it down? lol
I am really pleased for the farmers and what a great neighbour they have.
Spirit of Australia all alive and well.

Miraculous survival of 500 pigs that were washed down Burnett River in Mundubbera flood
FARMERS devastated by the Mundubbera flood have told of a miracle amid the destruction after 500 pigs survived being washed down the river.
Staying alive for up to almost a week on their own, pigs thought to be dead - after the Burnett River savaged farms and homes - have had piglets in toilet blocks and in neighbouring properties.
They've been saved from trees in the river and one yesterday remained on the roof of the piggery after water levels dropped.
"It's a miracle," Sally Wells, 67, said after she and husband Rob lost 2200 pigs worth $400,000. "They are miracle babies."
Within hours of the flood, their pigs were being seen alive floating down the river - one on a bail of hay - and on the banks of the river.
