Birdsville 2010
I didn't go this year but with 30ml of rain on Friday and only the paved area available it must have been a squeeze on the tarmac.
Please tell us your stories and feel free to share some photos.

30ml of rain? THat's bugger all.
30mm on the other hand....

Went in for the day yesterday and yes parking was a little tight, feel sorry for the town as many folk left Friday depriving them of much anticipated revenue. Those that remained seemed in good spirits and much beer was being drunk at the hotel!
Bottums Up
I heard on the news yesterday that the races were postponed due SWS, for the first time in history.
Horatio, I'm confused (easily done I know), what's the difference between 30ml & 30 mm? I thought ml & mm were synonymous.

The courier mail website has got some great pics in a photo gallery, check it out!

Even got some shots of a young lass going for it at Fred Brophys boxing troupe!
Reminds me of the time I flew to the races with some mates! Lucky for me, in the middle of the drought.

What a shame for those that had plans afoot. Although the Birdsville races well the atmosphere anyway has long since gone with so much commercialisation there now as well as over the top security making it not as attractive as years gone bye. The pix shown here is how I like to remember it, ah the good 'ole days
Gotta be somone out there who recalls the guy standing atop the pub roof doing a Moonie? I have photo of said person somewhere:-)
Anyone remember the temp tower they had there? Everybody stacked up over the field awaiting clearance to land. And the sh1t houses....phewwweeee!!!

DESCOL Great photos. For those who weren't there you can be proud of our government. There is a security fence and locked gate around the airstrip which as the photos show are vital to the protection of our national security.

Here is a picture of the parking on Saturday afternoon...
It was quite tight. Still a reasonable turnout at the pub, but it was very muddy just across the road...
