27 July, 2009: Slips, silt and slumps

Early this morning one of the trucks slipped over the edge. A crane came to rescue it. The end of the dam/regulator slumped. The construction slowed. The materials are now being dumped in the deepest part of the channel. The silt spread out. An ex-irrigator from Currency Creek came by and was horrified by the extent of the damage. The rain continues.

Surely it is time to quit any idea of building the “regulators” on the Currency Creek and Finniss River. The first flush has rushed down the tributaries. The fresh water has flowed into Lake Alexandrina. The evidence of acidification of the Goolwa Channel is contestable. Do we have a politician with sufficient courage to say, “Stop now”.
