A closer look


A rusted piece of farm Machinery on the same property

A few donkeys a little further up the road

A view of Lake Mulwala from the Hwy if you take a close look theres a boat with a skier on the back taking his life in his hands with all the stumps about
lowering the lake to try kill of the green weed growing


you can see the weed better in these couple photo's pic.





You can see, the green weed in the water through the tree
The lake Getting lower
left Side of boat ramp
Well normally you couldn't leave your Tinny (Boat)here cause it would be under water.
The waters edge is well down and should be up past those few leafy twigs.

Right Side of boat ramp, Can you see the tyres against the bank?
thats were the normal water level should be.
The Shire tells us the lake will be full again by end of August.
I promise to get around to visiting you all in the next few days
