Thanks Eb, It really was a strange..... thing! I think it was because the water level was so low that it exposed all these cool looking creek thingies!
There was a show on tele the other night about the 7 wonders of the industrial world. That episode was about the Hoover Dam and how heaps of people died etc. The company who made it had to build a little town for the worker and there families. Now I'm not 100% sure but this could be it. Looked like there were people still living there but cant be sure. We think our drought is bad..........
