We are at Mount Gambier for a weekend of dog trials. On the way down we took the pretty way through the Coorong, and stopped at Meningie on the shores of Lake Albert. For years there has been almost no water in the lake due to the drought, but after rain in Queensland and NSW, the Darling river and the Murray river started flowing which has allowed water back in the lower Murray Lakes. The pic shows the view from the jetty near the Lake Albert Caravan park, looking back to the shore. A couple of years ago we could not see the water from the end of the jetty. The drive through the Coorong was great, just having water back in the Coorong has brought some of the bird life back so hopefully the Coorong can recover to its former glory.
