TODD RIVER RUNNING - Central Australia


It's normal to see the river banks winding waterless along through the tree's of this inland town.





In the cool of the evening looking across camp fires burn bright sending sparks high into the starry sky.

Indigenous people clustered around keeping warm whilst listening to dream time stories, into the night.

Next day dawning, whilst enjoying a coffee, we are given a warning rain fast approaching - will swiftly flow southward filling every waterhole and river cleansing the earth as it tumbles along.

Through the Alice it flows moving swiftly down river what excitement is felt as we join a group of tourists and locals lined along the bridge above delighted to witness the Todd River running.


In the river bed the water has spread wider, as it twists and turns like a snake, it's top skin shimmering like silver, in the early morning light. Todd River running with delight! The river flowed for a couple of days then receded allowing life to return to normal.
