Sydney - Russell Crowe had to get his truck winched out of a dam after the brakes failed.
The actor and his sons Charles, nine, and Tennyson, six, watched the vehicle career out of control on their farm, crashing through a fence before coming to a watery standstill.
Revealing the incident on his Twitter account, Russell said: "What a morning #1... Farm staffer jumps out of truck, top of the hill, handbrake fails, trucks careens through a fence, 300m into a dam
"Steep on that hill, truck took out two panels of post and rail, immediate momentum, missed everything, hole in 1 to the dam
"What a morning #2 boys and I follow it's path of destruction, as it is sinking, windscreen wipers keep going, good advert for Toyota (sic)"
Despite the potentially serious incident, the truck was retrieved without damage and little Tennyson hailed the drama as the "best day ever".
In other tweets, Russell added: "Wam #3... brother arrives with the John Deere, gets in freezing dam to hook up the truck, beautiful job retrieving the submarine.
"Wam #4 Youngest announces "best day on the farm ever''... no one hurt, only pride. Told old mate,"days like this'll get you a new nic name (sic)
"Wam #5 In a dry, Australian acceptance of the inevitable, old mate squints to the middle distance and softly states, "yes, they do (sic)"
