Come now Willem I distinctly remember spending a very wet night in
Peterborough caravan park, so wet most of the tenters ended up in the "campers
recreation room" a la the laundry for the night.
The next morning we had to ford several flooded creek crossings to escape from
Peterborough. It was our first long outback trip in the very late 70's and for many years we always regarded
Peterborough as a very damp and wet place, funnily enough it was always raining when we went through on our way further north for quite a few trips through the early 80's.

Yeah mate............. that was then. Now, with Global Cooling in place ( it is 10 degrees at 9.10am in February, supposedly the hottest month of the year ) and no rain for 47 days so far, we are living up to our dry motto. Last year however, we had 376mm for the year compared to our annual average of 300mm
You had better come and visit again Peter, as we desperaterly need the rain!!!
