Recent Floods

I was thinking about the Coffs floods. They were considered 1 in 100 year floods and nearly as bad as the ones in late 1996. now that is only 12 1/2 years ago.
do you think they are considered 1 in 100 year floods as the 1996 ones were in last century and we shouldn't see floods like that in coffs for at least 91 years now?

G/day Mark, It could be interesting if you were camped in the Dry creek bed and it happened overnight!. Wet A....se would be a understatement..LOL...Just shows how carefull one has to be, no matter how good things look.



Cheers Axle.

Old mate needs some sun on them legs, whats doing there?
Thought he had stockings on. The old boy needs to walk a bit quicker or it will get him. :)
Anyway, How quick did it come up?

Thanks for showing us that one Mark, to be where is has already happened is one thing, to see the water in live action is incredible.

Incredible Mark, and I remember seeing a sign somewhere up the Oodnadatta Track suggesting that if you want to camp in the creek, put a life jacket on over your pyjamas, because you could finish up in Lake Eyre.

When you see that video, you can see how easy it can happen.

Now, there's another thing to stack in the camp box, some life jackets!!!!!!!

Mark,
that footage is something special. I have never seen this happen to a coastal creek, in fact I have only seen this happen once and that was while I was crossing the Florance river in the Selwyn ranges south of Cloncurry.

Have a safe Easter
