Looks to be just the one big hit with the levels dropping in
Birdsville already.

Talking to a mate this morning, and he had some current info on Eyre Ck.
Following the daily NASA sat images, the water appears to have stalled in the
lake system West of
Lake Machattie, over the past week or so. However, the water has started running into Cowarie
waterhole, just through the Glengyle/Adria Downs boundary, a few days ago.

Topo Map-Eyre Creek, on Adria Downs.
It was suggested that the water would take another week to reach Muncoonie
waterhole, where the Adria
homestead is situated. Whether there will be enough water to reach the QAA Line is unknown, but at this stage I’d suggest it’s highly unlikely, or may only be a negligible amount.

It’s very dry country out there but they the darker colour water the deeper it is, the water often stalls out that way takes a bit to get it all the way.

well and truly into the
Warburton 2 weeks ahead of usual rate going about 30 km in 12 hours

Yes Teraa, we were also talking about the speed of this flood this morning too. Compared it to the ‘99 flood which scoured clay pans and any other ridge country that was flooded. Falls of up to 15” over a day or two, around the Middleton area, got the channels running at full noise.
