Water everywhere!

[Chris Ryan]

Yep, seems to be water happening all around the place....
Down the North coast of NSW there's water lying everywhere with a distinct mud smell in the air in Lismore and surrounds.

Scott - gotta love that smell mate. Brings back such memories of a young boy growing up in a town where two people spit in the street and the levy banks go..!

The old times of washing down my Dad's Panel shop, clearing out the dead carp and snakes, the mud 2 foot thick around the floorboards, driving the cars back into the shop in various states of repair as an 8yr old from up the hill 2ks away. You don't get that childhood anymore.

Here's a pic of North Pine Dam on late Sunday afternoon. I usually fish from a bank which is now about six feet out from the edge of that grass in the water and about five feet down. It's filling slowly and it's raining as I type this. Lookin good. although that grass is bloody snaggy

Can we pass that off as Seagrass now?? Close parts of the unproductive banks which had grass all over them instead of the Bay?

Yep, with frollicking lungfish instead of Dugongs. Actually most of the place is already closed to fishing.

Well it seems that the rain has stopped in TSV for now and Ross River dam is 58cm from the top of the spillway (85% full)
