whats most amusing is the upper end of QL gets so much rain during the wet season.

As close back as our last elections one of our loopy farmer independents MP's bob katter proposed implementing the bradfield scheme.Its basically a diversion of Queensland coastal rivers to feed the watercourses of the inland system.Dr. Bradfield’s plan involved diverting the waters of the upper reaches of the Johnson, Tully, Herbert, Burdekin and Flinders Rivers one into the other, then into the Thompson, thence into Lake Eyre, refilling it and, with evaporation, creating a climate change and rainfall throughout inland Australia.
