    Thats massive. All the floods I saw when growing up out these were pretty much in that gully further down the road. 15 + metres is a lot more water than 13!

    Thats amazing. never thought I would see the day of the water that high. On another note, just how did you extract them pics from the back packer. I have heard of them fishing trips before. lol

    As a young 14 yr old in the seventies, we had two floods thru the Charleys within 2 months of each other. The first was dirty like most floods, but the second was a good flood but the water was sweet and clearer . I believe this is the same now. We got on tubes at the older Chinchilla traffic bridge and floated the full flood down to the weir where the charleys and Rocky join. It was great fun, but by the sounds of it we would get arrested for the same act today.

    Ha Ha!! cant do tubes, cant own a gun, cant shoot a shanghai, cant set off fireworks, pretty lame world we live in today!!

    Can't help but agree with you John. I know it was silly but I had to laugh at those 3 littlebuggers that tried to float from Ippie down to Southbank on pool lounges. That's guts! And apparently they were about half way there when someone pulled em out. Spoilsports.

    I was speaking to the old man last night, he said he can't remember seeing Charlies Creek so clean. Like tapwater he said. This could be good, I might start bringing a baitcaster and a handful of spinnerbaits out there when I visit.
    Speaking of the swimming in flood water thing, my brothers and I tell our Mum some of the things we used to get up to in the flooded creek out there and she goes white ! We were crazy little ferals with no sense of danger.
