there may have been water in it on the 18th of feb, but there was no water in it 2 weeks ago when i was there.


all the rain came from what the bom was calling a 1 in 30 year rain.
turns out they were wrong, but still 100mm fell

thats what makes travelling this country so fantastic, the subtle ever changing views , brought on by local weather events.

last August out near Wanaaring , in north-western NSW , there were sheets of water either side of the road as far you could see , but it was just a local event , and the area is still in grip of severe drought.
