Aplins Weir is a star
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Bit soggy in the north!
I took a helicopter from Giru down to Airlie Beach yesterday to photograph flooding in the region. Apart from many sections of the highway being cut the damage didn't appear to be too bad. At least I managed to get a page one pic that helped alleviate the cost of the charter! I have put a bunch of pics on my site so wander over and have a look (link below).
UPDATE 15 JAN 2008: Conditions in Townsville were terrible this morning with a massive low centred directly over the city. I have added pics from today as well to my site.

Burdekin Dam in full flow
Yesterday I went for a drive out to the Burdekin Falls Dam to photograph its current level over the spillway for The Courier-Mail newspaper. Although it was only flowing about one metre over the spillway it was still pretty amazing. The Burdekin Dam is Australia's second largest dam behind the Warragamba Dam and holds 1.86 million megalitres. It is currently holding 108% of capacity and is well worth a visit when flowing!
