More Rain for Birdsville

How good is that, Bob. We only had about 8 mls since yesterday but the thunder and lightning show late yesterday dumped 77 mls on Bedourie!! The pelicans are busy fishing in the billabong - big mob of them. Beautiful rain, slow and soaking. Bet your smiling!

Hey Banjo - go another two years from now, but not leaving Birdsville, got another idea.
The blokes who went into the Desert Sunday came out very sorry this morning. Everyone had to go south - only road open!! Few chose to stay here and wait it out - the're drowing their sorrows in the Pub - how unusual. Wind still blowing from the north - showers come and go - looks clear and then rains. Bloody beautiful rain. Our new rainwater tank now half full and we manufactured a tap so filled a few containers and the kettle - just had my first rainwater pot of tea (as opposed to that fabulous bore water) - sweet as. The pelicans are busy as in the bilabong fishing in a big group near that big old tree - fair few yabbies in there this week. Would clump down through the newly graded mud (oooh yuk) but haven't any freezer/cold room space because the supply truck came in and he's had to put all the stations food (on the Windorah Road) in our cold room and freezers because the truck is parked up and he's going to fly back to Quilpie tomorrow. Those with planes will have to fly in when they get hungry.
