Rain, Rain, Glorious Rain

 



Best rain we have had for about 10 years. Ginnenderra Ck broke its banks out our way, however, long way to go before it reaches the 1989 floods.

Went for a walk in the water, felt like a kid again back home in Cairns.

On a regular ride along Ginnenderra Ck, a new sign has popped up. Here is the map:

I was originally bemused by the fact that the before and after pictures were different, but I guess they took an "after" picture of somewhere else.

Last comment was in relation to pollution control. Ever since the willow trees were removed, 15 years ago, the creek has started to rejuvenate. Slow process, guess I wont see the end, but at least it is happening.



 

Global Warming?

On the path to the shops, I cross a bridge that spans our local creek. Lots of workers working, so I ask the traffic warden, "what you doing?" and I thought I heard him reply, "Widening the expansion joints"

Mmmm, methinks, a change in design standards, an original design error, or preparing for global warming? Al least the pollies can say "We are fixing global warning!"

Nice to have a sit down job, but on reflection, maybe they were just cleaning it out.
