Pete,

Looking good, thanks for report.

Will help impove all the impoundments, still a few need a bit more but its a good start.

Looking forward to fishing a few of them in the next 2 to 4 months, all good.

It will help with the farms and all the rural areas as well.


Regards

HEY HEY HEY, dont cross them too tight. My wedding is the 1st of March, I like the rain but I need clear skies for that Saturday....I cant cope with Bridezilla as it is

[Peter4]

Sorry mate, wedding or not we need the rain!

Anyway - its supposed to be good luck if it rains on your wedding day!

Best of both worlds - its pisses down for the last week in Feb and clears up beautifully for your special day.

Pete Mate.

[Mike Delisser]

The graff on BOM web site indicates Waruma rose about 6 or 7 mts today, pretty quickly to.

Edit made = Maybe too quickly, correction made on BOM site.

Up 3% to 7% of capacity and rising. Not much but at least its going up!

Lake Kurwongbah has gone from low 20's to 60%, and still getting inflows.

So anyone want to take a stab in the dark for when or whether we might get 50% into NP so we can get out on her again :-)
