Hi again Carl. Good that there is still some flowing into Lake Eyre.
However, I doubt that any amount would dampen Adelaide without a new ice
age. This old town has a bit of a creek called the Torrens but it isn't in
any way connected to the Murray Darling or Eyre Basin catchments - too many
big hills in the way.

There is a bit flowing into Lake Eyre at the moment, looked pretty
good when I flew over it last Saturday. Don't think it will get much
past Lake Eyre, come to think of it I don't know if we want a rain
event that would cause L Eyre basin to overflow, it would be a bit
dampish round Adelaide. but it has happened, but a fair while back.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Just hoping some of it gets down here through SA. The Murray is
currently
flowing quite well, not flooding. The water at present is
"blackwater", ie
all the post stagnant and salty stuff from Qld and NSW. Lots of debris
and
green algae as well. River towns here are waiting for this to clear,
ie out
to sea, then hopefully the river will get a proper flush with fresh
water.

Dear All,
NASA's Earth Observatory site has some impressive images of the
Channel Country following the recent rains. They can be seen at

Should be some interesting birding when it is dry enough to get into.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
