thanks for this amazing snapshot of our outback. We as city folk often only look at floods from the destruction they bring to townships, but we always must remember the huge benefits they bring for years to come.

Thanks for commenting. We talk about floods being disasters but a lot of what we are seeing is part of the natural processes of our weather and landscape. Historically we have chosen to populate the banks of our rivers for their water and transport values. Our town planners know these floods will come but most people live and make decisions with only a dim awareness of them. Our farmers also, are doing their best to make a living in a very challenging environment.
