Here’s a picture that will strike fear into the hearts of South Australians and everyone else who relies on the Murray River for water.
It shows the Ovens River from the old bridge in Porepunkah. We’ve been here more than eight years and it’s the first time I’ve seen the river not flowing its full natural width at this point.
The Ovens River is one of the Murray’s major tributaries, so this must be a concern for people downstream.
Here’s a link to a picture in my galleries, taken from the same spot, and showing the river in its normal state.
