Hurry Save The Murray!

Today, the police presence to which we are becoming accustomed intensified.  The “lone kayak protester” was ready to take to the water again. Murray the turtle made an appearance. A couple from Langhorne Creek went fishing but on their second trip were escorted back to shore by the police. Several boats found themselves stranded on the Lake side of the dam/regulator. Apparently there was no signage to tell them the passage was blocked.  Channel 7, 9 and 10 were present. The protester did not take to the water but the message was clear. This dam/regulator is not needed. There is no emergency.

The work has stopped. The relief is palpable. The whine and beeps of the trucks have permeated the lives of Clayton residents is gone. An almost peaceful day.
