New plots on this map. Cooper at Lake Pandruannie on arguably 14/6 but 13/6 was clouded out. It was not there on 12/6. So it has flowed the last leg more quickly than in 2010 when it was 17/4 at Lake Hope diversion and 17/5 at Padruannie. i.e. 30 days. This year dates are 22/5 to 14/6 so 23 days. Water should cross Birdsville Track about 28/6 given recent faster flow rates. It will fill Killamperpunna first so happy days for LEYC. After that another month plus to Lake Eyre so say first week of August. All a bit irrelevant as Lake is "full" enough already for air tourist purposes and it is off limits to just about everybody on water. By land the tracks to Halligan and Level Post Bays are actually open. No other land access.
Back in 2010 the ferry ran from 8th June to Jan 21st 2011. SA govt has about two weeks to sort ferry out subject to reopening of BV track up at Qld border
