Update from my recent Pick this Place

Last week we did a day trip up to Bookaloo to try and see the old underground water tanks that were used as water storage for when steam train used to pass by on their long haul over to Western Australia.

Reaching the site, we were a little disappointed that we could not get up and close to these giant tank, and the only way to appreciate the area was courtesy of drone footage from my drone.

Further investigations since the trip on trying to find more nearby remote graves, one chap I spoke to in Port Pirie has been going to the tanks for nearly 50 years, and he told me that this is the first time in his lifetime that the area has been underwater, from previous summer very heavy local rain.

Water levels at the site have dropped over 2 feet so far and it will be not until well into next year that the track to the tanks will dry out and safe to drive on. So even though we were disappointed, we very still very lucky to see the area covered in water.

If any of you are passing by on the Stuart Highway, make sure you drop in to see a freak of nature that might not happen for another 50 years.
