A calf was rescued after being carried 70km down a raging river. It was swept away during flooding in eastern Australia, officials said.
Barney, a young bull, was washed away from a farm in New South Wales state. It happened during heavy rains on the night of Jan. 4. He was rescued on Jan. 5, Tweed Shire Council general manager Mike Rayner said.
"It's amazing the beast is alive," Rayner said.

"The water ripped half the road out of one particular cutting the bull calf went through - the [speed] would have been enormous," he said.
Council ranger Wayne Haayer, who helped in the rescue, said he spotted Barney headed for the ocean.
"He was tired, his head was barely above water," Haayer said.
"He was sort of swimming, sort of floating."
Barney was identified by his tags and returned to owner Don Baxter.
Baxter could not immediately be reached for comment.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AP)
一頭小牛在被激流沖走七十公里後獲救,官員們說牠是在澳洲東部的水災中被沖走的。
一月四日大雨傾盆的夜晚,小公牛巴尼從新南威爾斯的一處農場被沖走。據特維德郡議會主任麥克:雷納說,牠已在隔日獲救。
雷納說︰「這頭動物還活著真令人驚奇。」
他還說︰「大水速度相當快,把小牛通過的特定山路沖毀一半。」
協助救援工作的議會巡邏員韋恩:海爾說,他看到小牛被沖向大海的景象。
「牠當時很累,頭幾乎沉下水面,」海爾說。
「牠就像是邊游泳邊漂浮。」
經由身上的標記確認身分後,小牛已送還飼主唐:巴斯特。
巴斯特因一時無法聯絡上而暫無回應。

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
