Reminds me of this place my wife and I went to in Nambung WA (Australia) we went on a three week trip from the top of WA (Exmouth) back to Perth, stopped here for the visit, and got rained on. I was absolutely soaked because wer were going to the desert, I didn't even pack a rain jacket.
We also stopped at this town (Carnarvon) with an immense dry river bed, strangest thing I'd ever seem. We stopped and walked across it, felt like forever (maybe it was just 36°)
Apparently it had gotten to 7 metres in 2000
If I continue to work backwards chronologically on this trip, which I find hilarious while typing this, this is Emu maurading the town of Exmouth. We'd stopped at a visitor centre to check it out and to fill our water, the Emu apparently had the same idea. They then went in a pack of 3-5 and started walking to the local camp ground, this was maybe 10am so the campground had mostly been deserted. We walked back past it to our accommodation maybe 30mins later and the Emu had started picking through all the campers unattended food and scraps. I sided with them.
