Camping in a dry creek bed anyone ?

That's a real eye opener, the thing I found interesting was which way their vehicles were facing!

Had similar thing happen to us at Chambers Gorge in the Flinders. Camped up on the bank, woke to what sounded like trucks driving on rough roads in the distance.. listened to it for an hour or so, until massive crack of lightning followed immediately by the deafening thunder.. think we set the record for quickest pack up that morning..
Massive down pour followed, the track, being in the river bed was already flowing. Got out just in time, a few swollen creek crossings, saw us at the bottom of the range, 25km from Blinnman?.. that was it, had no choice but to back track to Wirrapeana? Station. (Not sure on spelling of that).. they put us up in the shears kitchen for the night.. many thanks for that, along with another older couple.. was a great night..
One thing though, as quick as the water will rise, it drops just as quick.. heard that someone lost a camp trailer that same morning, station workers said they were monitoring 4 vehicles in a Gorge, on the uhf, not sure if they tried to drive into where we just came out of.. the Flinders is quite unique.. but still has that untamed,unpredictable feel.. thanks for sharing that clip.. cheers Odog

We were camped in Billy Grace, Wee Jasper. There was a woman camped down on the lower level when I left (bright sunny day) the next day I got some pictures from those that had stayed behind. Around 2300 hours the river rose and they did not get everything out from her camp for her. She spent the rest of the night in a camper trailer with another couple.

It use to be one of the golden rule " never camp in dry creek or river". doesn't matter how inviting it can it look.
