Clinging to the Fringes Cafe - Oz Drop In Centre.

It is indeed dlowan - that is the Goodfield where this goodfielder resides - taken in August 2004.

Taken just after dawn? If so, you were facing south. If taken near sunset, you were facing north.

unless, of course, the bog flushes anti-clockwise

If ever a man knew the habits of the bog, 'twas Moonboggy.....

Still does, god wot.

actually, a lot of bogs up our way failed to flush either way this week.

check this out, it's about 100m from my place http://smh.com.au/ftimages/2005/06/30/1119724733918.html

that and this http://smh.com.au/ftimages/2005/06/30/1119724733839.html were the only ways out of our neck-of-the-woods. I've never been flooded in so high in the catchment.

here's the rest of the region http://smh.com.au/photogallery/2005/06/30/1119724733973.html

Wow - ah, Australia - one minute yer perishin' of thirst in the desiccator of life - the next, now't but a wee turdlet bein' flushed down the S Bend of infinity.....


People got deaded in Queensland, and all, didn' they?


I hope SOME of that is in the goddamn Murray catchment!

yeah, in border region - a particularly nasty causeway at tweed - why people bother to try these crossings in heavy rain astounds me. Even if you survive your liable to blow the car's electrics or computer, not to mention getting water in the clutch ot the motor...

another guy got swept away in Byron - found dead yesterday morning

driving back from Lismore this afternoon (yes the road's finally open) there were emergency crews crawling over another vehicle found in the subsiding waters so hopefully there's not more

So - how the hell are you, Moony, seriously?

How's it hangin'?

me? seriously? well struggling with this non-smoking biz - i tell you i don't remember been this crazy or miserable. first and second months were ok, but this month, sheesh...

Well done - hope you make it!

Can't be torment for too much longer, eh?

What is it, the habit stuff, that is hard?

i don't know, there's nothing rational about addictions

here's the funniest slant to the floods in the dole capital of australia

It is?

Hmmmmmm........

well, its a first

Late again.....

I'm still giggling at the thought of the pairing of Shane Bloody Warne and Dlowan - one of the stupidest men on the planet, sleazy, amoral, undisciplined, thoughtless, self-obsessed - and our dlowan - erudite, intelligent, and the exact opposite. Well - they say that opposites attract! He does have some manual dexterity, though - perhaps you could harness that for something useful?

Moony - I was wondering about you yesterday - in all that rain. Wow! Do you really have electricity and made roads in your area? Not what I expected.

In Sydney, we've had a shitload of rain - but still nothing in the catchment area - so level 3 water restrictions now! I'm looking for a friend to shower with!

Prince G - you should have a look at Michael Clarke!

And a tie in the one-day cricket final! Sheeesh! The Poms have never done so well! Mind you - I managed to sleep through it - not as riveting as it might have been!

Ooooh, sharing showers, that sounds like a fun side to drought!

Doggy - those photos are amazing!

Dawn? Oh dawn, I remember dawn, dawn meant the end of night shift and time to go home with scratchy eyes or coming home with double vision and bloodshot eyes (after a night out). But not voluntarily getting out of bed on a winter's day to take a photograph

Looking north mid-afternoon (about 1445 hrs) in August (late winter).

If anyone thinks I have forgiven them for Shane ******* Warne, I haven't...

We know.

Do you care?
