It's wet in Birdsville

Hi Aggie..will keep my eye open and say hi if I see him..

Gday Aggie,

I'm camped with your nephew John and his partner TJ.

We had a rough night and flooded in......... Pub will get a work out today...

Mick,

Will try and catch up with you, I will PM you my mobile number.

I don't know how to post pics but with the weather heading our way I'm sure we will have plenty of time to work it out tomorrow..can'r see us moving too far!!!

LOL, For every inch of rain out there, they close the roads for a day.

Old mate the Publican can see his tills a ringin.
Stranded travellers stuck in town with nothing else to do but drink his beer and eat his tucker.

Still, there are worse places to be marooned. We got stuck there for three days a couple of years ago after a Simpson crossing. Turned out to be a ripper time. Although we just about ate the pub out of tucker and the only beer we could get was some ghastly S.A. swill.

Once the roads get really wet, don't even think about a brave dash to the bitumen in Windorah. That road is a nightmare when wet and the locals take a very dim view of winter terrorists tearing up their roads.

Big fines and lots of sadness there. Stay put and rock on. Such is life in the Aussie Outback.

Gee...you can talk. How is VB (Very Brave) any better than say Coopers Pale Ale?

Go the Coopers pale ale, nice drop, it's that West End stuff I have trouble with.
Still, if that's all there is I guess you can get used to it.
A few cans of anything can get you talking.
Cheers,

100% agree. West End is the equivalent to Fosters....sell it to the tourist 'cause the locals know better.

Can't beat a Coopers when you're anywhere near the Cooper.

Catch ya.

OH..!! gawd..we are in trouble if the billabong we are camped on rises..were in the caravan park..way down low! loving it tho..heaps of people moved out and took off this morning before the rain came..didn't want to take any chances, hope they didn't get caught.

hello we are in birdsville Nd it's been raining very heavy for the past 2to3hrs a d very very windy think there are a lot of camper that have got very wet and there stuff has been blown over it snow 12.20am and just pouring. cheersmick

Wow, that's going to be tough, stuck in a pub!!
Look on the bright side, you are probably seeing this country in a unique situation for who know's when it will be like this again.
Enjoy, wish I was out there with you.

Yep were not complaining, a wet night with people ripping up the mud trying to get out at 2am this morning..no need for shoes around here, everyone getting about barefoot..the mud just sticks to your shoes..quite a site to see.

So as well as Fred Trophy's boxing tent, some mud wrestling could be included as the weekend unfolds :-)

Haha! yeah it's the perfect mud for it.

Probably a good thing you left when you did, we are still stuck, no roads open and they have cancelled the cup.
Hopefully we can get out tomorrow because there is more rain on it's way.
