Due to Global Warming it will never rain again . Please place you parched lips between your knees & kiss you A#$% Goodbye. Somebody from the Gov Dept told me that  :cup: Thank God  for the Gov Dept saving us all then pointing us in the right direction  >:D

Global warming is so 2 years ago. Its climate change now, It can easily then be used to explain rain and cold events.

This event highlights the amount of new residents making the Penrith Valley their home (unfortunatley).
Ive lived here for 30 years, seen all this before many times over as a kid.
Been on the river right up in the top channel not far from the base of the dam wall even when water was being released.
Theirs unbeliveable water rapids happnin right now, no one will ever see unless by air or on the water.

An even like this brings beautifull Trout into the Nepean waters released from the dam, big arse Bass, Cat fish.
top fishn after the flood settles, and as Jason B says bad arse rog eels will hit the main swimming area's and thrive. 

The Nepean River and Nepean valley was a nice quiet, majestic, clean river and place and hardly polluted years ago, its a %uckin disaster now.

Flood Hard and long you bitch, its needed.
you are so right my friend, the river has been a mess for a long long time, this is a much needed flush out for it,, and as soon as it settles... you will find me down at the boat ramp  and into it,,, :cup: :cheers:

I have just returned from the central coast after leaving Bathurst on Friday about 20 minutes before all roads out were cut. What an awesome site water every where. All of these silted up crap little streams actually getting a good flush out will do them wonders.

We crossed the Nepean and the Hawkebury and the flow was obvious from the fresh. The river was coloured up as was ocean beach at Umina. it was as brown as highlighting how much fresh was in the system.

This will do wonders for the fish and the wild life that rely on our rivers. Global warming and climate change, are a croc aimed at softening us up to pay more tax. These events only hapen every 20, 30 - 50 years but I am glad I here to see it.

Well I took a mate for a fly yesterday arvo over the dam. Was quite an impressive sight. He had the good camera and is meant to be emailing me a copy of the pics, but here is a couple I took with the trusty iPhone.

Thanks for the photos Cloud Basher, gives a bit of scale to the river.  I can't imagine how much rain would be needed to get the dam level up for it to go over the new spill way, but it would be an awesome sight
