Information

About 4km from the confluence of the Paroo with the Darling. Dry and cracked riverbed at the bridge for years on end as upstream flows soak into the desert and pool in lakes. Last decent flow under the bridge in 2010, with just a trickle in 2020, enough to make the grass grow. Major flood in autumn 2025.
