Second look (23)

[gerbie]

In most parts of the world, when a road has to cross water, people build bridges. In Australia, things are a bit different. Most part of the year it is so dry, one doesn't even need a bridge, the creek is empty. Sometimes the creek turns into a huge flowing river, too strong for a normal bridge. Hence they decided to lead the road down through the creek. I was lucky when I drove there. Most creeks were dry, some, like this one, had a bit of water in it. Just drive slow and hope your car survives the water. Mine did.

Should have scanned it a bit better, the picture could have been a bit larger.

It was a weird experience though. I did not have a 4WD, so I was lucky the water wasn't a bit higher, or I would have been stuck.
