    The mighty Manning river ceases to flow.

    Along with the Clarence , Hastings and Gloucester, reportedly. The river gums are dying. I'm not sure city folk understand how devastating this is becoming.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Scary. Not long ago the Manning was flooding Taree.
    I posted this elsewhere, but since we're talking about dry rivers, this photo shows where the Urumbilum River west of Coffs used to flow, but now it's a gravel bed.

    .The Manning at Taree is tidal, so people can be fooled into thinking there is plenty of water. Salt water. But when she floods, it's a good one. I suppose that will be next.

    I'm afraid a lot of places are like that now, the pools at Crow's Nest Falls looked like sandy beaches, and the waterfall had stopped flowing a few weeks ago when I was there.

    Interesting to see the Hume weir is only I believe at about 30% currently. I can’t work out why we aren’t on restrictions yet. Well at least I don’t think we are, if it is so, they’re not very forthcoming with the warnings.
    As I drove past the Eildon dam last Sunday I noticed it looked frightfully low as well, as did Lake Nillahcootie.
    Lack of rains are certainly starting to show.

    Lake Eildon in 07 when I was on hols in Vic. Taken from off O'Hanlons road, just outside Mansfield. That gave us quite a shock. The Mansfield Water Ski Village is about a kilometre further upstream i.e. to the right of the boat ramp!

    Lake Hume Easter '09:

    and the Mitta Mitta river in the middle of the basin to go with it.

    Dartmouth is still just above 50% .. maybe why they restrictions haven't hit yet .. some capacity remains.
    Maybe they're expecting higher rainfall soon(would make sense) .. so they've adopted a bit of a wait and see attitude.
