A drought-ravaged river in Australia was seen flowing again for the first time in years.<br /><br />Photographer Kevin Mitchell captured the deep, orange water in the Fortescue River in Newman, Western Australia, on January 8.<br /><br />He said that the last time that this part of the river near the town of Pilbara had water flowing was three years ago. <br /><br />Since then it had remained a small, stagnant puddle but recent rainfall has seen it swell again.<br /><br />Kevin said: "After so many years, she is flowing. How good is that?"<br /><br />The Fortescue River is the third longest river in Western Australia.
