BA1343/12 /41 Derek Keene The dangers of flooded With an elevation of over 1993 river crossings. 400 meters around Halls Creek, the creek crossings in the immediate vicinity of the town are death traps for the unwary and indeed many people have lost their lives trying to cross floodways completely ignorant of the strength of the current. This fully loaded Gascoyne road train was washed off the normally placid Upper Panton River, a river which has a curved cement crossing. The entire roadtrain was swept several meters downstream. BA1343/12 /42 Derek Keene The damaged prime The story behind this 1993 mover road train being washed off the Upper Panton River crossing, was that the driver attempted to cross the floodway when the river was down, but was unfortunate enough to become bogged in the piles of loose sand that had built up on the crossing. He was still trying to get the truck free of the sand when fresh flood waters came down, and the whole road train was washed off the crossing.

BA1343/12 /47 Derek Keene The Bristow helicopters With the closure of the 1993 Great Northern Highway at the Mary River bridge site, transport in and out of Halls Creek came to a virtual standstill. Repairs to bridge and approaches could not be started until the floodwaters receded, but ther was still an urgent need to get the road open, and one option was to use the old Mary River crossing lying dormant for nearly ten years. However the crossing also needed to be repaired, and this was all going to take a few weeks. So a short term coluation to Halls Creek's food problem was to use the Bristow helicopters to ferry in much needed perishables. This one is being serviced at the airport.

I was very lucky to see it as it is beautifully hidden behind a small ridge only a few metres high, but it is impossible to see from the road. The cemetery is high up on the banks of the Forest Creek well clear of any flood threat. Over the years I have visited this cemetery many times and decided in 1990 that one day when time permitted I would return and restore the old cemetery. It badly needs a new fence and restoration work on the headstones. A month after the station was established in June 1884, a young stockman from South Australia, Andrew Giffney died from fever, and I like to think that he is buried in the old cemetery. The last person buried here was Norman Bourke Welman who had lived and worked the station for over 60 years.
