Australia has just come out of a drought period and the longest river in Australia, the Murray River almost dried up. The drought had lowered the level of the Murray River and this wetlands was completely empty. No birds here. This was the view looking from a birdhide in Goolwa that overlooks the Murray River. This area is usually full of water and teeming with birdlife.
And just because I like the effects in this photo. My glass is nearly empty.

This boat is in the middle of the river and well and truly stuck.
