Nearly 30 people got more holiday adventure than they bargained for after becoming marooned at a popular camping site alongside the East Leichhardt Dam near Mount Isa in Queensland on Saturday night… Several camping groups were stuck after flash flooding – one camper Danor O’Leary said “we unzipped the tent and had the water right there – I thought it was some sort of bad dream”. Five of the 29 people at the site were rescued by authorities, but the remaining group decided to wait until the floodwaters receded. Rain also moved south over parts of Victoria and South Australia yesterday, bringing some relief to farmers who have had a dry patch… Bureau of Meteorology data shows Melbourne experienced its driest March since records began in 1856 while April’s soggier already with thunderstorms hitting the city overnight and more than 20mm of rain expected today.
