This years monsoon has been disappointing so far but there's more monsoon to come and normally we don't know what the situation will be until mid February. There are suitable lakes available on the Cooper that hold water for three years after a flood. With the current level of interest being shown the chances of a regatta being held in the first week of July 2012 are high. The Camel Cup is on Saturday 30 June and the following week is the first week of the SA, Vic, NSW school holidays and the second week of Qld. With a smaller Lake we would fill the program with more racing and novelty events plus have a lay day, which last regatta, turned out to be a good time socially. As the Birdsville Track would be open if there's no Cooper flood a mid-week lunch at Mungerannie Hotel would be fun.
