The flooding in Queensland over the past month has been on an unimaginable scale, with two-thirds of the state being swamped by water. With towns, farmland and major cities all affected, the impact upon this great state has been devastating, not least because of the terrible loss of human life and the destruction of homes, businesses and prime agricultural land.
Sadly, the floods have also struck hard in the equestrian community, with many people not only losing their livelihoods but also their friends - many hundreds of horses are still unaccounted for.
In this video Hamish Cargill and David Cameron visit the heart of horse country in Queensland, an area which was struck by some of the most serious flooding. Nothing prepared them for what they would encounter, and while shocked by what they saw they were also in awe of some amazing people and their stories.

Hamish, Dave and myself were in shock at the actual devastation. It was like a war zone in places with full grown trees washed away and houses uplifted and smashed against things. At the same time we were in awe of some pretty special everyday people who are leading the way in helping those effected. We made the video to raise awareness to the plight of those effected in the floods, the more people who see it means the more chance some will donate. So please share the link where you can.
