The storm with thunder and lightning I mentioned last night in a previous post dropped 77 mls (no, not points) on Bedourie (179 klms north of Birdsville), Birdsville has had only about 7 mls - wind still in the north and plenty of cloud and showers. Innamincka not raining, Mungerannie not raining, Alice Springs - raining.
Roads to Mt Isa cut - road to Windorah cut (Durrie Stn - 34 mls; Mt Leonard at
Betoota - 20 mls; Inland Oil Refineries - 25 mls (that's just near the bitumen west of Windorah). It's the Windorah Road you take when trying to go to Innamincka via Cordillo or Arrabury. Bit of rain at Mt Dare so far and those people who went into the Simpson Desert yesterday (Sunday) came out wet this a.m. So, only road open is the Birdsville Track and three blokes just came in from there and struggled - badly cut up and slippery. Good adventure.
Most of Birdsville stuck either in Jundah (where they went to flog the Barcoo Shire in a return grudge cricket match) or Marree (where they went to the Races and for the end of the Cattle Drive).
I've cleaned out my part of the shed and Ian's trying to find his large steel work bench - and maybe put all his tools away properly. Will have to do paperwork now.
See ya.
