| Summary |
The bigger the drought, the bigger the flood. That certainly held true over the past year for the eastern half of Australia, with flooding rains ending the worst drought in history.The signs that the weather was turning began in 2009, when a deluge in the tropical north set the great desert rivers flowing through Central Australia. For the first time in years, the water flowed all the way to Lake Eyre, the huge salt pan in the dead heart of the continent.ABC TV reporter Paul Lockyer covered the drought in 2009, and now returns to Lake Eyre 12 months later to investigate the floods sweeping across much of south west Queensland. The deluge was delivered by a series of tropical lows which swept through the middle of Australia.PRODUCTION DETAILS:An ABC TV Production. Executive Producer: Ben Hawke. Presented and Reported by Paul Lockyer |
