    Hey great pics everyone. When I see that piuc you took of Charleys Crk, mate , does that take me back some years! In 1973 the previous bridge was a little lower and it went under twice in one month First fresh was dirty and second was quite clear sweet water. As kids we would jump off the bridge and float down to the train bridge and grab onto a big rope , catch our breatn and then cut for it to shore. Then we would walk up to the bridge and do it again.

    When I started this post I was wondering if the Condy will clear up ever again. Surely after this flood we must have a chance of that?? I hoping so.

    Hey Chong heaps of water at Condamine already by the look of your videos!

    Cheers

    3 decent rises in warwick in a few weeks, first n last had some roads cut off but the waters as dirty as it could be. think the farmers plowed the flood plains after the first one, now their losing thier soil. natural vegitation in all the flood plains and it not only stops the addition of silt but captures it from the water as well. i guess its food over the enviroment, but something needs to be done.

    cheers

    Re: The Milky Condamine

    Yes John its looking great and to see the Charley like that is wonderful.
    Im sure the Rocky would have run again as well, it ran earlier and backed up the Charley.
    If the river and tribs cant clear after a flood like this then we will all be baffled. Also its great for the fish to breed, we can stock all we want but these water flows are what really boosts fish stocks long term.

    Looking foward to hearing some fishing reports when this run goes thru the Condy and its tributaries, mind you you will probably need a slug gun to knock down those big sandflies that will be a round! (thats if you have one!)

    Yep Chris, we have aplace at Condamine on Dogwood creek and it has been a full flood and filled tthe lagoons on our place, hevent been full for many years. The dogwood joins the condamine on warkin about 70-80km west of Condamine town and the river then becomes the balonne. The balonne joins with teh warrego and forms the darling. Our other place is on the moonie east of st george and the moonie has been in flood there as well as all the local creeks. Dams are all busted up on the place. We still haven't branded out there yet, normally done by January. The problem will be finding the calves; the grass is about two metres high!
    first photo is dogwwod creek, the my nephew in teh buffel, then Kenilworth at Bollon, with the Sevil boys watching something good on tele, that creek is the teelbar, normally runs once every ten years or so, and the lagoons on our condi place
