The Drought

So those of your friends remaining in the Riverland can expect to receive our fresh Mangoes and Barra duly delivered by airfreight on Monday then can we.

Hmmm

Sounds like we will have Barra when Kumunara does a trip down. Glad he has huge traileblazer in that Neeesssan

here here.....
the other day when bracksie announced the possibility of sending recycled water to the power stations he immediately said that water restrictions would be eased. Shows where his priorities lie, ok, melbourne would have 25% more water for use. that water could be used to produce '000s of tonnes of food providing a much needed boost to rural economies.......oh, yeah, not enough votes in the country to worry about it.....
I do sympathise with people who can no longer hose their path, brooms are so expensive.........

Yep... level 2..... in what might be the worst drought ever? Why not IMMEDIATE institution of the highest restrictions?

They should try tank water for a while.... then really appreciate water shortage.

It is scary. I was at Eildon on the weekend, man, it is so so so low..

another bogging, definetely more than I have had hot breakfasts.
that's quite a bullbar........

Hahahaha

Keep my nose clean these days, Nick

'coz they close all the tracks at the first shower ...

Stop it, you are making me homesick for the storms again! We lived in the top end for 6 years.

At least in my current job I get to visit Darwin 4-5 times a year, but my last three wet season visits I didn't even see rain.

"Where are the storms?" I ask - "Ya shouldhav been here yesterdy mate"

I yearn for the thunderstorms of the Top End, camping out under a giant tarp at Xmas and 4x4-ing in the mud and endless bogs and winching and running around in thongs in the bush. 20 years north of Adelaide River was a good time but I know why I left....it got too bloody hot for me. Now I complain about the cold down south. Maybe one day I shall return............................

HAHAHAHA,

We do think alike so much it ain't funny. I sent Des a MM saying it's as dry as a nun's n@$ty because I thought the thread deserved better than my degenerative thoughts but obviously I forgot you were home and should have known it would get posted anyway LOL!!!.

At least it's not as cold as a mother-in-law's kiss anymore!!!

Getting bloody noisy now. The thunder pales in comparison with the low flying antics of the sky jockeys getting in some last minute practice before the weekend airshow :))))

It's the one weekend I don't venture out on the local roads. Too many bloody tourists trying to drive and watch the airshow at the same time LOLOL

That's about 200mm more than we've had this year. I have lived here for over 4 years now and last year was the wettest when we got about 35% of the annual average rainfall.

I wouldn't say it's dry here but I watched a dog the other day lift his leg a give a tree a dusting.

If a dog does manage to squirt something all the other trees chase him down the street.

How about "As wet as a spotted dog"....LOL

I just read one..."as wet as a scrubber"....I'm not sure it's that wet, but has rained most of the night...

Probably all the frogs from the Hill went down there looking for some water.

Duncs

It comes out of a spray can these days LOL
