Nyah nyah, you missed. Close though. It's raining in the countries main river system catchment now. For the first time in 5 years, there is good rain, on the "channel country".
LOTS OF RAIN.
3 months worth of "average" rain, fell out of the sky in 1 week.
2\3 of inland Queensland, is now suddenly under 6.5 meters of flood water.
1.2 million square kilometers of land, suddenly under water.
That's bigger than Belgium. Under water, and still rising.
Down here, at the estuary end of the system, where I live.
We are currently seeing the lowest river levels in modern written history.
We are at 3 feet, or about 1 meter, below sea level and keeping the salt water, out of our state capital city drinking water with barrage walls.
It will take 2 to 3 months for the flood waters to get down here from about 2,000 miles away up stream.
River miles that is. They are very winding miles.
Looking forward to seeing some water in the river again.
That only happens once in a blue moon too.
