tiabunna's photos with the keyword: flood

As the sky shows, more rain was threatening when we visited Eyre Creek, near Birdsville. It was hundreds of metres wide, normally it has little if any water. These floods had come downstream from heavy rain a long way to the north about two months earlier. Stitched panorama, best viewed large.

I don't normally post others' photos, but my sister-in law Jan has kindly provided these for posting, as this is several days' drive away from where I live. These two images (see also PiP) are of current flooding near Mannum, a town on the lower reaches of the Murray River in South Australia. The river is not normally visible in the locations of either of these images, it's usually toward the hills in the distance of this image. Sorry, but I can't get the map link to work. To give some idea of the extent of the river and the size of Australia, these same floodwaters were causing major problems in eastern Australia back in mid-October and only now are reaching their peak here. This is the largest flood to reach Mannum in over 50 years and will continue for at least several weeks. Come to a point, at present Australia is having extreme floods right across the country, which can be linked to climate change..
