Flood and SA Roads update, Lake Eyre etc

Rosco

Read the post again. It goes like this......

'All the rain in Queensland and Northwest NSW'......

'may eventually trickle down to Lake Eyre and the Murray River'

Queensland = Lake Eyre
Northwest NSW = Murray/Darling

Sigh.....some people.....LOL

Cheers

Doh !!!!!!!!!!

And Cubby station will cream off anything that may have made it into the Darling and thence the Murray.

buggered if i know about the cooper, it has been flowing for awhile now and is due to peak on the weekend or early next week, and there is several rises behind it.
road is shut to jundah and the quilpie rd is next.
at least we have a good supply of beer and rum.

Last time I looked Bourke was downstream of Cubby....

yep, a long way south of cubbie. Another southerner pulling the trigger before knowing the facts.
Most of the queensland rivers in the murray darling barely have a flow as a result of recent rains.
The Bourke flodding was pretty localised and will flatten out as it moves downstream, cheers mick.

hey willem i am glad you added that last bit.
i have a months break coming up to spend fishing up at king ash bay and out at the sir edward pellew islands . cheers

sorry i meant Kingsley. cheers

Nice one Dave,

how are things up your way (besides bloody hot). Planning to be up through your way in Mid May heading for the Simpson and then on to Alice and places west.

Cheers Mick

Been a bit warm Mick, but off down to the GOR next week for a bit of salt air. Not much of that up here.

The optimist see the doughnut and the pessimist sees the hole!!!


WTH does BHQ stand for? 'B' Head Quarters?....LOL

Dave

Silly old bugga!

I can swim...can you?


Why we are included in the catchment area is beyond me. Water flows from here to the west then north then north east and into Lake Frome. Last big rain we had was 2007 in January when 100mm fell in one go. Don't think those waters reached Lake Frome. With an average rainfall of 300mm per year there is not much water flow around these parts. Rainfall so far for 2009 is 4mm!

200mm of rain in the Bourke Shire may help Menindee Lakes overflow and some water may be released into the Murray/Darling.

200 years of white fellas and we have stuffed the water systems due to the greed of people. And most of us refuse to learn!

g,day ruth, all roads out of windorah are shut as of today.
the bridge here should just about be under, but we cant get to it as the long crossing is about .7m under just out of town.
due to peak sunday. then more rises to come.
bring on the sand flies. cheers
