It is only going to get deeper, We have just experience the biggest flood in History here in Chinchilla so there is plenty of water heading that way.
I love a sunburned country
a land of sweeping plains
of rugged mountain ranges
of droughts & flooding plains
Hope to pass through Bourke enroute Tassie Wed or Thu. We'll camp south of Bourke methinks.
take your floatyies ;D
It is great to see the rivers get a good flush but my heart goes out to those whose properties are under water.
As Speewa was saying, a country of extremes but you have got to love it.
Cheers
