G'day all
Thought I would up load some images of the regional wet we experienced a little over a week ago, things are drying out and gradually becoming accessable, mozzies will be our next drama.Image Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found
The images are of the
Fortescue River out flow, from the Ophthalmia
Dam, northward along the Nullagine/MarbleBar road.
The
dam recriation area is still under water.

Marble Bar to the DeGrey and beyond Joe?

G'day Pete_n_Margaret
The DeGrey river catchment areas are still on flood watch, so I can only guess the water is still making its way to the main water course.

Newman only had some where around 110mils of rain, but it was enough to make the
Fortescue River run a banker for a couple of days and now it all calmed down. All waterholes have had a flush out and top up so they are looking magnificent, the wild flowers are already showing, so the months ahead should be brilliant for wild flowers.
