Here are a few pics of one of our local free camping spots post flood.

Calliope River Rest Area behind the Historical Village.


Looking up to the Historical Village

There is about a foot of mud over the road

High water mark

Trees trapped under the bridge

The river rose over 50m!

Great to finally have phone/internet back, been out since Saturday.

We have camped there a couple of times, it's hard to believe it was up to the road.

Well past the road chartrock, in the 1st photo you can see the watermark way up the bank near the Historical Village buildings.

The water was only a metre under the Boyne River bridge at Benaraby next to the Benaraby rest stop and we received 1080ml of rain.

Awoonga Dam was flowing 8.5m over the wall and is still at 2.5m.
