River level at Loxton

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Well, Dot, the tree has been known to be a little naughty. So it's anyone's guess.

Judging by the 1956 marker, it looks to be about 7ft up the tree trunk ATMo…

Might be a bit more Ray. The power pole 'fence' around the base gives a reference.

I wonder if the '56 marker was nail up there in '56 .... sort of like the fisherman's story about the size of he fish, it keeps getting higher :lol:

OK, we was naughty people yesterday and scaled the levee bank in the Mary Anne reserve so we could get a photo of the '56 flood tree. This tree is well and truely dead, so the height remains constant :lol:

If we get the full metre plus expected, the level will be up to the branch at the 4 mtr mark, we have received half of it at the moment so the level is at the 3.5mtr mark.

Or the camera was focused on the writing rather than the water to the rear of it. :)
