Where's Moses when you want him?

We have made our way north to Broome, lots of looonnng hours driving between places here. Went through Karratha, Dampier and Port Hedland. Not that pretty but pretty amazing with the amount of mining and industry going on.
Have come across a few of these in our travels, just humungous!

We had a bit of excitement when we had to drive through some flood waters near the Tom Price turn off. Driving along we found ourselves in a queue of cars, trucks, caravans and cars, parked on the high way both directions. Rather hilariously one lot had their van awning out and chairs and tables, ready for lunch.
                                   Garry with some of the other head scratchers-will we or won't we?

Eventually the trucks started to go through the water which was getting lower but still flowing a fair bit. Then the 4x4's got brave, then the 4x4's with vans. We waited for a few to go through first to make sure it wasn't going to be too high, not wanting wet feet in our van, despite this it was still a bit hairy going through the waters.
Trucking on 

This is what we went through, arriving on the other side with dry feet luckily. The poor people in 2WD cars would have had a longer wait, especially one poor guy in a lovely new lowered Ford Falcon.
