FROM what photographer Trish Sloan described as the “helicopter flight of a lifetime”, stunning images have been captured of a usually arid Winton region spilling with huge Autumn rainfall.
Sloan is an employee of Winton’s iconic Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and also the proprietor of Trish Sloan Photography.
She was flown this week over Winton and its surrounding channel country, capturing the district in flood following 200mm of rainfall in a matter of just days.
That’s nearly half of Winton’s annual rainfall, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
The museum itself recorded 160mm of rain since Saturday, isolating the tourist attraction by road.
