Flood Heights

Morning everyone. Monkira at 7:30 a.m. still 4.1m (that's one week at this height so far). Durrie 11ft 8 ins and Roseberth 16 ft 2 ins, Birdsville now recording at the bridge at 2.5 m. Once Roseberth hits 15 ft the water spills out from the river south through the flats and floods across the Nine Mile (that's 9 miles east of Birdsville on the Windorah road) For those of you who have been here that's about where that collection of sandhills starts and you know you're nearly into town. At this stage we can drive out to the last sandhill and watch the water creep across the flats. The supply truck forsook his big night out at Mungerannie last night and arrived here about 9:00 a.m. and quickest unload I've seen for a while (considering last night at Happy Hour was one of the best we've had for a while also!) Temperature in mid-30's and plenty of dark clouds. Too much water now for the fish. We could see them crossing the old causeway yesterday but secret weapon didn't work.
