Darling in flood. 1998


This stereo image and the one in previous post are taken from the same place (this one further back among trees as water was too deep where i had stood two years previously!). For this image i travelled up river in small dingy as the usual roads were covered with floodwater. It is fairly formidable - and such a buzz - when the water has reached the top of its banks and flows over the flat expanse of country on either side. There is an amazing volume of water and a view thru the trees into the surrounding country.

For various reasons, mainly the huge extraction of water upstream from the Darling, 1998 to 1990 is the last time the Darling has seen such a flood
