Cooper Creek Update

Hi All

Things have been quite lately on the progress of the floodwaters coming down the Cooper. I was speaking to Patsy from Etadunna this morning and I asked the usual question, 'how is the Cooper going?'

Patsy said that the main water body is still coming, but in no real hurry. It is well past the Lake Harry inlet and still has not reached the actual ferry site as yet. There is also another body of water coming down behind the body that is coming down, so we will all get to have another ferry ride, but at this stage, the million dollar question is when!!

Without being a gambler, Patsy said it could still take another month before reaching the actual Birdsville Track, it is just travelling that slow. I also asked on the mouse problem and Patsy was also saying they mow have lots of rats to contend with as well, so anyone heading up that way make sure that all food supplies and other valuable are out of their way.

One local that just got back from Marree yesterday said he left earlier that he had anticipated, because of the mice chewing at his swag all nigh.

Until my next update....




Cheers to All
