the interesting thing is that all that water going over the Burdekin
Dam, is only considered to be "moderate" flooding
morno, at Ayr/Home Hill that is true. If you look at the pic of the rail/road bridge between those towns, the Burdekin has been known to break its banks there on many occassions. I think the difference is that the Bowen R, which comes in below the Burdekin Dam is not in flood.
The lower Burdekin is running about 3M under the road/rail bridge and rising. Expected to break its banks in a couple of places today!
Its pissing down again today - could be an interesting weekend for Ingham/Townsville/Ayr/Home Hill!
