Stopped at Rufus Creek (the exit from Lake Victoria).

Tripped over this lizard, just about to take a bight of the plant in front of its nose.

These cormorants were having a rest before joining their friends fishing in the outflow from the lake.

Out of the picture to the left were a couple of fishermen in a boat. Beyond the sign that said no fishing.

A pecking order in which the people came last!

In front of it a carpet of white flowers.

We last saw this bit of river North of Pooncarie. It was dry then, though we heard on the radio that water was about to flow down it after many years of being dry.

Quite a lot of water.

This wagtail seemed to be attacking the kookaburra. Perhaps it was picking flees out of its feathers. The kookaburra looked mildly annoyed but suffered quite a few pecks before it moved .... to be followed by the wagtail.

At the exit these locusts were hopping across the road. It was odd to become aware that the road was moving. Not long before they start flying.

Bought some netting to cover radiator and air intake, just in case, but didn't need it.

We returned to Vinefera, and made the mistake we didn't make on the previous visit.

I walked about 100m placing stakes along the edge of the track, checking both wheel ruts, before we crawled our way through.

Warm enough to sit outside this time so enjoyed watching this Rainbow Bee Eater.

This bridge crosses the Hume Reservoir.

Here's another one. This time at Cottontree Creek campsite in Mt Granya State Park.

We were lucky to be high and dry. We collected 45 litres of water from the roof.

Thought we might stop at Clarke's Lagoon. The track disappeared into the river.

The bridge we planned to cross on was closed, the road on the far side was under water. All of the campsites we passed were flooded or closed, so we headed into the mountains where hopefully the water drains faster.
