The Finke River is usually a broad sandy river bed comprised of a string of waterholes. In the event of extreme flooding, however, the river tuns into a raging, foamy torrent. In 1918 and 1921 the floods had a monumental impact on the Mission, evidenced by the archival letters and reports, as well as photographs taken primarily by Bob Buck and Otto Tschirn.
