The students would alight here heir way to on the way to school daily.
You may be able to see the water mark upon the trees.

The River looks so tranquil and pretty here that it is hard to imagine it has just flooded.

Thank you Sally and Michael. I was lucky to be there when the river was up
Great place, small town 1100 population with a large percentage indigenous
Very isolated and disadvantaged. Locals catch fish called yellow (yella) bellies and eat them with Johnny cakes, often eaten on side of the river bank. Brewarrina means "place of many trees."

The flood gave you an excellent image, Elaine.
Glad your op is over. Get well and come back soon.

Looks scenic but may represent a big local problem?
I hope no damage was one and perhaps the kids had some time off school?
