Lightning Ridge is a town without a river, but this area just to the north floods REGULARLY.

I spoke with Barbara Moritz from the Lightning Ridge Historical Society about Weetalibah Crossing, a causeway where a natural flood course intersects the Castlereagh Highway. The Historical Society has in its collection a steel boat that dates to around 1923, found high and dry in a field, no doubt a remnant of a flood in the area a century ago.

There will be a follow-up to this video in future, as Weetalibah has a few more interesting stories for us to tell!
