The Tjololo Diaries

Back at last only to be showered yet again. Is this another cyclone and more floods on the way? Time will tell. Didn’t risk going out. At night it is difficult to tell the condition of roads and dongas, and with the continuing rain we could have found ourselves stranded, if not washed away, for a few days.

No water in camp with the pump having been washed away in the floods.
We managed to get out in the morning and hoped to cross at Rocky Crossing only to find the flood-plain still very much under water. The Maxipiri river in the north is also flowing strongly so who knows when we’ll be able to cross to check on Tjololo and Tjellers. Many roads are still impassable and flowing. Even the game is sticking to the roads as these are the only areas that are relatively dry.

This could provide for some interesting behaviour as the predators are sure to be hunting along these routes. This evening we hope to progress further with our exploring the rest of the property.
