Description: Todd river which is a normally dry desert river in central Australia is flowing after a recent rain event. Alice Springs comes to a standstill as all the town turns out to witness the rare spectacle. The first water flow is a regular Poonami due to all the rubbish, filth, dead animals etc that the water washes down.

Repurposed a piece of 1960's era military frequency counter unit, instrument fashioned into a clock utilizing the original Neon gas filled readout display tubes (Nixies). Original test instrument had suffered a power supply failure which blew a number of the Germanium transistors so I decided to resurrect the device rather than scrapping it out for parts.
