Hi all,
I went on an amazing scenic flight over the flooding Murray river in South
Australia the other day. Water levels are higher than they've been in 18
years. Large areas of floodplains are under water. Some of the photos I took
are in my picasa web album. This can be accessed from a link under Latest
News on my website (below). It's great to see the floodplains and wetlands
that have suffered terribly during the drought, regenerating. The flooding
is also resulting in breeding of White Ibis, Yellow-billed Spoonbill,
cormorants and Darter. Rare species like Little Bittern  have also been
sighted.
cheers
Peter
