"A billabong is an oxbow lake, an isolated pond left behind after a river changes course. Billabongs are usually formed when the path of a creek or river changes, leaving the former branch with a dead end. Billabongs, reflecting the arid Australian climate in which these "dead rivers" are found, fill with water seasonally and are dry for a greater part of the year". Wikipedia

And this one of the Murray River - about 1000 miles due south of Blackall. Camped here in the Police Paddocks.

All my 70 years I thought a billabong was some sort of weird-down-under animal. Now I know...thanks. Nice shot, too.

And I thought it was what Bill Clinton used when he didn’t inhale.
