Coongan River near
Marble Bar. I believe this is road that goes past
Comet mine to one of Gina’s iron ore operations.
Note the car parked on old floodway.

A pictorial story from Yarrie Station where we worked for a couple of months in 2008.
Yarrie is on the DeGrey River, north of
Marble Bar.
The recent rain from Zelia is MUCH more than fell on this occasion.

We actually drove the OKA across the DeGrey at this very spot.

This is the first crossing of the DeGrey via the concrete causeway on the Muccan Road.
It is 9 days after the rain.

Thanks Peter.
Saw a media report that people at Yarrie were among those evacuated by helicopter over the weekend.
