OUR Moulamein Lake pump has been going as hard as it can to try and get the levels up and beat evaporation.
All of the boat drivers that I have talked to are very happy that the weeds are now underwater. We will be able to pump for about another week.
Then it is in the lap of the Gods whether we can keep our lake going or not in this mongrel drought.
Just a reminder that you have to pay to use our Moulamein Lake $20 a day or $150 for the season. Our committee’s biggest expense is water and the power to pump it there. Enjoy.
Happy New Year
MOST of us survived another year. Let’s hope there is a bit more rain in this next year.
I am having trouble working out what this year may bring us, as I do not have 2020 vision.
Water for fodder
THIS is a scheme introduced by our government to give my crow eating mates a load of money in the hope we can grow some food for our stock.
We sit on zero water in NSW. My crow eating mates are on 100 per cent. Somehow these low-down bastards got into the ballet for this vital water. They have 100 per cent, we have zero. Just to rub salt into the wound.
I may be corrected on this, but this mob at the bottom of our river with 100 per cent can sell this water off to the highest bidder.
Let’s hope I can be corrected on that, or it is just more proof the crow eaters saw someone in the water job commit a murder and can do what they want.
The only good thing about me not getting any of this water is the fact that I do not have to write out a cheque for $5000 to my crow eating government mates.
Country is burning
LET’S hope the next greeny that gets in front of a controlled burn gets dragged off by the cops.
The only good greeny is the one that you leave in your hanky. Common sense has to prevail with most of the east coast on fire.
I have put my name down again to go away if they need me. If you would like to help out, ring the White Shirts on 5881 5351 during office hours and they will look after you. All you need is your BF and your gear and away you go.
They may be sending me to Albury, but things can change very quickly. They look after you and the only time you have to put your hand in your pocket is if you want a beer.
You do not get much time for that, but we always find time.
Truck fire
WE got a call out last week when some poor bugger’s truck tyres caught fire. He got the truck out of the way, but his trailer was a write off.
He was very grateful for our effort and he made sure that we get a beer at our next meeting. He noticed something wrong when he was coming through town but did not want to stop and endanger our town.
Thanks for that mate, our town thanks you. We will toast you at our next meeting.
River levels
THE Edward is steady at 2.3 metres and just below 2500 megs.
I have heard stories about some good cod getting landed around town.
I will get out and about this week and find out what is going on.
