2) Lots of trucks & trades in amongst the tractors. Very organised & widespread throughout Germany. I hope the protests reach Australia, as Australian politicians & bureaucrats are no different to those here in Germany - making the same stupid policy mistakes.

Great footage from the #ordsome photo & videographer Ben Broady - thereās a lot of water going over the Lake Argyle spillway

Lake Argyle is 120% full, discharging at 390,000 litres per second. That's Perth's daily water usage every 50 minutes.

Love waterfall season in the #ordsome East-Kimberley. Bit of an adventure to get to but so worth it. We might not have road access to the south or east at the moment, but the large amounts of rain make it perfect for #chasingwaterfalls ā¦@MattBrannRURALā© ā¦@BOM_WAā©
