Climatically, the Georgina catchment tends to be somewhat drier than the Diamantina or Cooper, with average annual rainfall ranging from around 400mm north of Camooweal to around 225mm at Bedourie [REF].
Extremely dry years can give the entire basin less than 100mm whilst in 1974, 1977 and 2000 many areas had over 800mm and some as much as 1000mm.
