'This might take a while....'
The Stuart Highway (between Adelaide and Darwin) cut by flood waters near the Northern Territory border, Australia, 1989. It took five days for the water to subside and a temporary bypass dirt track to be constructed. We were stranded with the road cut in both directions.

This is amazing! I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of JPG Magazine. It’s a photography magazine made up purely from reader/member contributions. They have a theme running at the moment called ‘Nature conquers man’. This image would be perfect for it. Here’s the link in case you’re interested: JPG Magazine. :)
