If the roads are not damaged too much, it could be wild flowers in the SA Far North area by December.

The AdelaideNow website is reporting:
*Most roads north of Hawker are affected due to flooding.
*Some reported to be 1.5m of water crossing the road.
*A report that one 4wd was washed away from a crossing, but occupants all OK

Foot and a half..

The shots at the fence line would be 2 foot under water, further into the Pistol Club is around 4-5 feet at the deepest parts..
