But Hines said there was a chance of more rain, with “quite a bit more wet weather on the radar” for the north west of Nelson. A heavy rain watch is in place for Nelson, west of Motueka from Monday morning until the early hours of Tuesday morning, with periods of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms and rainfall amounts possibly approaching warning criteria. “That is going to lead into a pretty wet day Tuesday, cloudy throughout the day with intermittent rainfall and it looks like the more significant accumulations of rain will be up in the mountains.”

But the horse-mounted droving of farm animals up and down the country were real feats which will never be seen again. Mobs being driven through small towns and rural localities were commonplace, the reason sturdy front fences and gates became common across the country. Local farmers often helped out with the musters as they went through - snorting horses, barking dogs and dust everywhere. A lot could go wrong, but panic was an unknown word.
