Flight along the Murray River in flood 18 December. Followed the river south from Walker Flat to the Murray Mouth where the flood waters are flowing out to sea. We saw the levee banks breached at Ponde leading to the evacuation of Ponde. We also flew over The Bend race track before flying over the Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth to see the spectacular view of the Murray flood waters flowing out to sea. I plan to do more flights covering more of the river flooding. It maybe be a once in a life time view of this event. Of course as spectacular and amazing it is to see this event its also bitter sweet as there are many peoples homes and holiday house getting damaged and many people being displaced.
