Good job by this large loader operator, knowing a massive amount of floodwater was coming and with no way of extracting his machine out from the vast flat landscape of the SW Qld Channel Country, he built this mound of dirt to park the loader on. The area now flooded from the end March/ start April 2025 is greater than 1 million square kilometers; that is a larger area than the State of Texas, it is 2.9 times larger than all of the United Kingdom. It will take some weeks for the water to recede, making its way slowly to Lake Eyre in Central Australia. source of 2 photos: Rusty Ferguson
