Cool! i'm glad i didn't was the car today

Wouldn't it be great if it got into the catchments for a change!!

Or if the dont blame me its "Climate Change" Scapegoating , good for nothing, I wont swear, Bracks Government , built some dams.

Funny isn't it they dont use the word GLOBAL WARMING anymore.


I mean really if you dont build dams, and the population increases what do you reckon happens.

We all dehydrate.

Ive been saying that for over 10 years.
When i worked for a local council i asked why are not all new building applications made to have a water tank inclusive to the completion.
Reply "Its all to hard" that was from Wynham city council.

Does it pay well what are the perks ?


I wouldnt have to pay for petrol.

Looks like there was some useful rain in SE Qld as well.

Still...it means the weeds will be able to grow at our place

But its a start.

Thats how it was down here - now Obs Hill has recorded 500+mm for June we've had 300mm, catchments have had much less but are now around 50% across them all.

The Vic situation was what happened when we did the high country in 2002 an east coast low formed off Gippsland and the place went under water.
