This is why our trip has taken so many different turns and backtracks since we started last Wednesday. The Strzelecki Track and other surrounding roads to Haddon’s Corner and Cameron’s Corner was open, and then while on the road some places had one inch of rain, others three inches. Put that on top of all the rain that has fallen into this area and being Lake Eyre catchment basin, I think Lake Eyre will have water in it for some time to come. Even though we are not exactly where we would like to be we are discovering other places in SW Queensland, and there have been a few surprises as well. Because a lot of the roads in this area are dirt it means a lot are closed for a while, so we had to hit the black stuff for a while to get to Broken Hill. Hey, that all adds to the adventure and whilst I usually get out of the car on water crossings and take photos of the action. The water at Bulloo River was just a tad colder, wider and deeper granted the bonus was no crocs but sat in the car for this one and took an action shot from the inside. Sometimes I just like being on the other side of river when they are nearly 0.6m but great for action, and the other bonus it got rid of all the mud underneath the car we accumulated the day before.
