[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 192256, member: 1695"] Good reason to not camp anywhere near creeks when out and about. I saw exactly the same situation travelling along the front of the Flinders Ranges. First crossing had a trickle building up on the edge of the road, second crossing had a light flow of water across the road and a few floating paddy melons, several crossings later there was a torrent dragging up rooted trees across the road. :o Later that night I picked up a guy walking down the main highway in the rain, just a few kms north of Hawker. Turned out his vehicle had been washed away whilst traversing a deep drain on a return trip to service a comms tower, very lucky to be alive. [/QUOTE]
