Visitors Offload

Supplies at  Kajabbi


MORE than a bucketload of rain fell out of the sky again yesterday at Kajabbi with the Flying Padres and The North West Star Photographer Dean Saffron, carrying extra supplies, dropping below the clouds and making a surprise landing at the towns air strip. He drop- were welcomed by the towns population of six who are cut off from civilisation by the swollen Leichardt River


Picture DEAN SAFFRON

Picture an overflowing lake Julius, a flooded leichardt River - swollen to more than 1.5 kilometers wide as it passes by the town and you get the idea Kajabbi is isolated,

    Even before more than 150 mm fell upstream last weekend the town was isolated, only accessible by dirt road, but now there is no way in or out by car or four wheel drive.

    The town is home to only 10 people. And while the Leichardt river is overflowing near the once thriving rail head and cutting access to the outside world, it is not a concern for those six that remain.

   Most of them live there for the isolation so this only means there will be no travelers passing through to stir up the dust.


Kajabbi drop-ins welcome

Those that do stay during the wet season are prepared for when the rain comes and they are cut off from the outside world. But yesterday, after being cut off for less than a week, they received a welcome visitor, the Flying Padres - Salvation  Army envoy Simon Steele and his wife Natalie along with The North West Star photographer  Dean Saffron.

     The group was on a mission -  provide some supplies to those stranded by floodwaters. And while was not all out to greet the visitors, they did welcome the food they brought.
