The Commissioner, • I e Wind and rain threaten- ed the r81ilway to Alice Springs near Lake Eyre South las t weekend. Strong northerly winds pushed the flood waters of the lake to a new level against the earth 'and stone embankment which pro- tects the railway. The lake water at that level would have inundated a short section of the rail- way had it not been raised up by several feet during the last two months. At the same time suffic- ient rain fell to cause storm water to pond against the heightened railway em- bankment and rise to rail level at a few places where o'l·iginal drainage patterns h'ave ' been altered by the ea1,th works done to pro- tect the railway from dam- age by the lake water. Only minor damage was sustained and rail services were not affected. Lake Eyre South is con- tinuing to fill at predicted rates. The calm wa,ter level at present is a few inches below the orignal rail level at what was the lowest point of the railway.
