Hurry Save The Murray!

Today representatives from the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation (DWLBC) and other State Government Agencies provided information and answered questions at a meeting chaired by Dean Brown at the Clayton Bay Community Hall and attended by some 35 members of local communities.

According to the announcement, the session was to “provide the community with information about the construction of environmental flow regulators in Goolwa Channel, near Clayton, and in Finniss River and Currency Creek. The structures will be in place by late July to capture winter inflows along the two tributaries.”

The rain was pelting down and that raised many questions as to why the “Regulators” were needed. Why? Why? Why? The answers were not satisfying the questioners: some persisted, some left, one threw mud over the speakers. The meeting was terminated. It is still raining and the Finniss crossing is still closed.
