The Reservoirs Are Full
Published 27th of January, 2020
Wow!
I remember how spectacular this looked when we first saw it. And the noise was incredible. I wasn't sure whether we would be able to drive up to that spout, as there was so much water about, but we made it.
Road To Nowhere
This was as far as we could get though. I do hope the bee hives - under the dam to the right of this picture - are ok though.
Raging Xeros
When we took these pictures it was still raining, so the Xeros was probably at its most powerful. An awesome spectacle indeed!
From The Top
There was so much water going over the top than last year. I hope all the stall holders did well out of it, as the spectacle deserved a wide audience.
Close Up
Look at all the power there.
