PseudoPod 72: Heavy Rains
Heavy Rains
by Andrew Nicolle
The place we’re heading for is called Island Lagoon, smack-bang in the middle of the South Australian Outback. It looks like everything else out here in the bush: dry, dusty, the odd saltbush scattered along the plain. But I know this place is different.
First, the name is a bit inaccurate. You’d think a place called Island Lagoon would have some water, or maybe some swampland. It doesn’t. Not usually, anyway. Most of the year it’s just a dry saltpan, and if you blinked, you’d probably miss it.
Sometimes though… sometimes after heavy rain it turns into a salt lake. And when it does, things can get disturbed.
