I hope he wasn't dumping all the sudsy water back into the river!

I don't see a problem unless the generator is excessively noisy. Bet the mining companies and their staff dump worse than a bucket of suds in the river.

Since dumping has been brought up, the rivers in W.A. are checked regularly for contaminents and the fines are heafty - even for an individual.
Now for the case at hand.
The River was not flowing.
Kids were swimming in it.
There are fish - yes eatable size.
You blokes might do this over East however, there is a camping code of conduct. It helps to keep our rivers clean for future generations and no I am not a greeny - common sense prevails.
While I am at it This character came from that small
state on the southern mainland.
Type this ito Google "camping code of conduct"

Yes I am grumpy over this type of thing!

I'm with you, Grumpy.

I thought soapy water was toxic to fish.

A lot of trouble to go through to wash a shirt I would have thought.

Yes it is disturbing but running an outboard from a tinnie does way more harm, does anyone cry wolf for that?

I do belief that in years to come the rivers will be protected and there will be no boating aloud, pumping or general contamination happening.

Houseboats on the river murray for example will be extinct and so will ski boats and PWC.

Sad to see but its a sign of the times and we are to blame.

I agree and this bloke is obviously a few cents short of a dollar.
