Having lived in Alice Springs for 10 years, it always amazed me to see how quickly the Todd Rivers and other desert rivers could quickly rise. Seeing the head waters of the Todd River flow down the dry riverbed certainly is a spectacle. In the desert, flash flooding can quickly occur and catch unsuspecting people out. Water has enormous kinetic force that is often underestimated by people.

I see from the NT News website that one poor (looks like a Prado owner) has already had to be rescued from their drowned vehicle.



I also remember once seeing a car that had been flooded in the Todd River after the waters had resided. The car was 3/4 full of sand. It wasn't going anywhere.

There is some Facebook chatter that they. Tried to recover the vehicle using a snatch on a tow bar. Nature and Darwinism go hand in hand. They both cleanse the earth.

Another Prado went completely under in Fitzroy at the old crossing last week.

Some people do not take notice of the weather forecast, or don't bother to look at it at all.

In early December, I was in the van at Wallaga Lake van park on the NSW south coast, right on the waters edge.

Started raining during the day and did not stop, the lake started rising slowly, so I kept an eye on the level. Checked it a few times, but the other vanners all had an early night and locked them selves in their vans, they knew the level was rising earlier in the day.

When I saw the poddy mullet and crabs swimming over the grass near the van, it was time to move. The others vanners were still asleep, so woke them, some complained about being woken, so I said "well, look at the *#@*^ water level near your van."

It was panic stations after that, running around in their P.J.s moving cars, vans and boats to higher ground. In the morning, 2 feet of water where their vans were parked, would have flooded the inside of the vans. (should have left some of them there)

North, really? You might like to look at a map

I have been to lake Eyre a few times but only seen it dry, if it fills I can see another trip coming up!

Probably more rain then ideal for the farmers but we always say that there is more money in mud than dust.

Cheers Andrew

Well Andrew,

Lake Eyre is filling up, and the sailing club is getting ready to start sailing (probably the one at Marree)

So from NORTH LOXTON, it won't be too far to head even further north to Lake Eyre, see the water in it and even go for a sail !!!

Just wondering, if Lake Eyre does fill up now/this summer, how long could it be expected to stay wet?

Many months, but once the water level starts dropping, the area around the lake remains muddy and boggy. Be careful driving near it.

Pelicans and other water birds should turn up shortly.

I thought the sailing club got banned from sailing on Lake Eyre a year or 2 ago as it was culturally unacceptable or some other BS reason like that!

I thought it was still going when I saw it a couple of years ago.
