Following the flooding that occurred in the upper Condamine catchment in early January 2008, I decided to grab my camera and catch some pictures of the first floods in over 10 years

اقتباس:

It was all going well with the light providing some nice effects

While snapping some pictures Dad called out to me to get my camera ready as a car was approaching the other side and was looking at attempting the crossing
|
اقتباس:

He pulled up, got his kid to jump out and out and put the hubs in. He then headed straight across, he didn’t wait and watch it or try walking it, nothing… Note the road closed pics in the background
|
اقتباس:

That’s a 70 odd thousand vehicle he is driving
|
اقتباس:

Yes, that's a boat he is towing
|
اقتباس:

It is about 150 meters across here and the water was flowing at an astonishing rate
|
اقتباس:

This Graph was taken from the BOM website and shows the peek of the flood recorded at the bridge recording station
The crossing attempt was made at 6.00pm on the 5/01/2008 as can be seen it was the peek of the flood level
|
اقتباس:

The Bridge is normally about 6 - 7 meters above the water level here
|
اقتباس:

Where the water is turbulent (where he is now) there is Armco guard railing. We figured he’d be ok there as the rail was breaking up the flow a little
|
اقتباس:

You can see the extra bow wave that has been pushed up once into the undisturbed flow
|
اقتباس:

It was at this point that the water lifted and moved the vehicle a little downstream Note how sideways the vehicle and boat are
|
اقتباس:

It settled back to the ground and started moving forward again
Its worth remembering that he had no way of knowing that the bridge or road were still intact under the water
|
اقتباس:

Still going
|
اقتباس:

A bit sideways but still going
|
اقتباس:

I think I can
|
اقتباس:

These new V8 Cruisers are a bloody good bit of gear
|
اقتباس:

That’s a young kid in the passenger seat
There was a number plate on the front when he went in the water
|
اقتباس:

Once across he opened the doors and let the ankle deep water drain from the cab
Here one of the assembled crowd asked why he did it and he responded - “what that? It was nothing, I’ve been through deeper water than that, yuk yuk” and then promptly speed off only to return to offer his email address to the same person and asked if he would send him some photo’s
