Maybe you can list it on the stock exchange. I'm sure there'll be interested parties. It might float

How about we use that special pipeline out of Eildon and put some more water into Cardinia Dam and Sugarloaf Reservoir.
Bugger can't do that either, there's lift pumps burnt out that couldn't handle the load.

Ulupna Island evacuating



Barmah Nat park has been closed for many weeks. All the gates were closed when we had a look 2 weeks ago. Were only a few tracks to boat ramps open then, but doesn't mention anything open now.

We managed to get into Echuca reg park for 4 nights but had to leave once the track in became flooded too. Was dry day we went in then water level rose 100mm each day. Once at 500mm deep we got out. About 4 other campers were still in day we left.

Water level of the river be at least 4 meters higher than same time last year. Wonder when it will stop raining.

What's all that water going to do for the Murray's stagnation / silting / salinity problems?

Help clean things out at all or just temporarily?

The Murry River will be in Full Flush  , & every river creek will help the run off . To South Australia you might get some cleaner drinking water . lt might be a bit brown & silty  but it will taste better                     :cup:                   :cheers:

We have ferocious winds here at the moment, between me and the neighbour we have around 10 trees down at the moment. Not sure if I can get to work tomorrow, one of my trees are over his drive. Will report more when it settles down, inside bunkered down at the moment

Where do people in Melbourne the planes coming? I've heard there is a public place where plane geeks can go and watch the planes land.
