South Para Overflowing
I was coming home from the Barrosa Today, after much rain in the last few days, I thought I would see if the South Para was overflowing as it was close last week. as you can see in the pics it was, so I thought I would share a few with you.
Photo 1 was about a week ago
The rest are from today
Cheers Ian

Some People are like slinky's,
They serve no purpose at all,
but they put a smile on your face when you throw them down the stairs.

G'day Ian, Great shots. With all the rain the South Para river is really flowing & is causing a few problems in Gawler at the moment. The North Para river is also running a banker. It is very hard to get about in Gawler due to road cl osures & restrictions due to flooding. lRegards, Barry.

Rain in South Oz: definitely worth a photo.
Good stuff Ian.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Any news on lakes in the Wimmera? Last time I went through Edenhope, Lake Wallace was a dust bowl?

Great pics Ian, I used to work flood gauging rivers in that area many years ago, but floods like that were few & far between
Just because it goes out to sea doesn't mean it's wasted. Many beaches on Australias coast are receding because they aren't being resupplied by sediments from floodwaters. Also, flood-borne nutrients are important in directly and indirectly feeding fish and providing new topsoil and nutrients to agricultural lands.

As with the rest of Aus, there is a critical shortage of water only enhanced by irrigation and to sustain population growth.There must be a happy medium somewhere to service both these concerns.On a lighter note...floods in SA...enjoy!!!
