MrBlue, thank you for posting this. I'm a yank who during my hippie days traveled throughout your great country (1971-74). I stopped for a few months in Alice, worked as a delivery driver and also as a waiter in a restaurant, maybe named Sylvia's or owned/run by a woman named Sylvia? During my few months in Alice, I was lucky enough to see the Todd River come down. There always seemed to be a buzz around town about if/when the Todd would come down. At the time, Aboriginals were allowed to camp/live in the dry river bed. So local lore always advised, watch what the aboriginals do. If they move out of the river bed, the Todd is coming down. It was one of the most memorable times in my life.
Hello MrBlue2468 , is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix

On a hippy trail head full if zombie!
Was born in Alice Springs see it plenty of time, old todd river flowing
Wow, I've never actually seen it start to flow before. Quite the sight.
The mighty Todd flows again!
It may have been one of our native friends getting a shock, quick sobering, awakening.
Was that a box of green cans floating by?
Looks like a huge septic tank spill 😂😂
