In Outback Australia it's either feast or famine, flood or drought. When we were up North in early September some of the roads had been closed due to flooding. However, in many cases, the water gradually disappeared within a few days.
And then the damage that it had done to the environment was obvious.
This poor gum tree, growing in a creek bed, had its roots laid bare with the force of the flood waters.
The dirt had been swept away and the gum looked like it was clinging to the earth to prevent it toppling over.
Just another example of how powerful nature is when water is involved.
When camping in the Outback, never camp in a dry creek bed because you never know when a flash flood may occur.
