I was talking about the impact of more than a decade of drought on Lake Eildon in the Central Highlands of Victoria.
Well if there is one thing certain about the Aussie climate it is that a period of drought will end in periods of flooding rain.
I went back to Eildon yesterday and the contrast couldn’t be greater.
Gough’s bay in 2010
Almost the same angle in 2011
The southern shore in 2010
And in 2011.
And a close up to emphasize the difference.
The lake is over 25 metres (82 feet) deeper!

Wow! What an incredible difference!
How reassuring. Our state is in a drought, but (YAY!) it happens to be raining right now.
That is an amazing difference! It's wonderful to see the land recover like that. Nature is amazing. Too bad it will eventually cycle back to the dry bed, right?
The difference is truely shocking!
Have a lovely week, Al. :)
