Lake Nash Station

[John Gryphon]

Floods are hammering northern Australia and I see where LN Station gets a mention.

Calling three million acres home is a handy sort of area if you were wanting to trial a few firearms eh wot!

How cattle stations are surviving the outback flood 'tragedy' of a lifetime

A lone cowboy negotiates a vast flood plain. Water stretches from inundated homestead buildings to the horizon. These are the stunning images of the Gulf of Carpentaria flood disaster. And the water's still rising along the Northern Territory-Queensland border.

Wow indeed. And I didn't realize how flat that area is.

I presume that as soon as the rains stop, the water will seep into the ground or evaporate fairly quickly. When the waters do receed, will the whole place spring into bloom with dormant seed germinating?

Those places will have 2-3 years of chest high cattle feed after the floods. Its all part of the top end`s cycle.
