Even before Joh's time there was talk of doing it but again, it was howled down. If it had been allowed to go ahead...this problem being experienced now would not exist.<BR/><BR/>The proposed Traveston Dam should not be constructed, on that I am firm! I spent my childhood and the beginning of my working life in Gympie...I know the Mary Valley area...there is little enough fertile land left in this country (which had little to begin with when you look at the topography of this country). To take away this land to erect a dam that may never be filled and if it ever does fill, the shallowness and area of it is susceptible to high evaporation rates.<BR/><BR/>I guess if all this land is taken away, it means more imports!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-1162561901187106752006-11-03T05:51:00.000-08:002006-11-03T05:51:00.000-08:00I cannot believe the populace did not give Pete a ...I cannot believe the populace did not give Pete a big shove into the negative during the last election. He should have lost at least SOME seats but alas he was given a full blown approval for his policies on hospitals, country doctors, country medicines (or lack there of, Birthing clinics and WATER!!! the dam should not go ahead. Sewerage should be treated and pumped back into the Lockyer valley and Darling downs for crops. If they can pipe gas from New Guinea then why not pump water from the North???? I lived in the Territory and during the 'wet' we had meters of the stuff.Scorpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203322219391097955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-1162490302089272912006-11-02T09:58:00.000-08:002006-11-02T09:58:00.000-08:00It was a wonderful time on Hinchinbrook Island, Ro...It was a wonderful time on Hinchinbrook Island, Robyn. I still love the island. It's unlike other 'touristy' island that have lost their natural charm. Hinchinbrook is mistress and queen of them all!<BR/><BR/>Your salmon sounded great.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the horse isn't Makybe Diva, but could very well be mistaken for her. I drew it a couple of years ago, I've realized (time certainly flies by when having fun!). While still quite emotional after her magnificent win of last year's Melbourne Cup, I turned an looked at the drawing on the wall and thought perhaps I should say it is the Diva!<BR/><BR/>You are allowed to get up on your soapbox, Robyn...I do similar, often! ;) <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a win next Tuesday, too.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-1162464498411442392006-11-02T02:48:00.000-08:002006-11-02T02:48:00.000-08:00Hi Lee, I've been catching up on your posts. You h...Hi Lee, I've been catching up on your posts. You have done some interesting things and been to some fascinating places so far in your life. <BR/><BR/>What a thrill to see all those dugongs! They are such an unusual animal and not too much is known about them. It would be a tragedy if they joined the other extinct animals.<BR/><BR/>I agree with everything you say about global warming, but today there is so much more contributing to it. We have treated our planet so carelessly, taken our resources for granted and are now paying the price. However, I won't get on my soapbox tonight - it's not good to get me started, I don't know when to shut up!!<BR/><BR/>I bought a salmon fillet and had it for dinner tonight, spread with seeded mustard, wrapped in alfoil and baked in the oven for about 15 mins. Served with broccoli and mushrooms and onions. Yum!<BR/><BR/>Hope you have some luck on the Melbourne cup - great drawing of the horse. Is it Makybe Diva?! We are having a luncheon and sweeps at work on Tuesday. Hopefully, I'll get a good horse in the draw.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day tomorrow and hope this finds you well.<BR/><BR/>RobynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
