Latest flood warnings- you're right they're falling!!! Not that hot though- cool to mild and rain falling at least till midnight Friday.

As a negative person (or so I'm being cast here), I wonder how it is that roads are impassable because of the rain but machinery can operate off road!?!

The next statement re DLS SA tenements will be in the March quarterly and will say that adverse weather has curtailed/ severely limited all operations.



FLOOD ADVICE FOR COOPER, STRZELECKI AND WARBURTON CREEKS
Issued at 6:45 pm on Tuesday, 6 April 2010

1. FLOOD ADVICE :
COOPER CREEK SYSTEM
River heights in the Cooper Creek between Nappa Merri, Qld, and Innamincka, SA, continue to fall. At Nappa Merri the river has fallen to the minor flood level category. At Innamincka the Cooper Creek is above 7 metres; water continues to cross the causeway and flow into Strzelecki Creek. Strzelecki Creek is flowing into Lake Blanche. The Cooper Creek continues to flow west across the Strzelecki Desert. Creek levels between Cullyamurra Waterhole and Innamincka will continue to ease over the coming week.

A surface trough and upper level disturbance moving over the Northeast Pastoral on Thursday and Friday is likely to produce falls in the range of 30-50 mm over the Cooper Creek System.

DIAMANTINA-WARBURTON SYSTEM
At Birdsville the Diamantina Creek is at the minor flood level. Flood waters continue to flow along the South Australian section of the Diamantina/Warburton Creek and levels are rising in the lower reaches of the creek. Low flows are reported into Lake Eyre. Floodwaters from Queensland are anticipated to flow into the lake in approximately a week.

Travellers to the region are reminded to take care at all creek crossings and to seek information on road and track conditions from the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure at http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/quicklinks/northern_roads/northern.asp.
