Following images of water in the Todd River – January-February, 2022

The seemingly not so rare occurrence of the Todd River raging through Alice Springs for the second time in three months, occurred after three cumulative days of rain, with much rain falling in the surrounding regions of Alice Springs, and locals recording the Todd River in flow on the 30 January, 2022.

At time of writing, Alice Springs had recorded 130 mm of rain for January and 110 mm for the start of February, 2022.

Looking south down Todd River at Stott Terrace Bridge. On the other side of the bridge, you can also see a walkway bridge (an eyesore to many), that wraps around the base of Tharrarltneme – Annie Meyers Hill, that takes you around to Olive Pink Botanic Garden.

Following is the view looking north of the Todd River, from the base of the northside of Stott Terrace Bridge.
