Well done Robert.

Dutchy has been working again on the radar van and it has been kitted out internally. Make sure you take a look.

The three hundred prepaid participant packs have been allocated. Many new people coming to Corowa this year and I have just received news Alan Newton will be with us again.

Default water level & condition

Last week I dropped into Corowa to check out the river level.

The lagoon and boat ramp are all accessible and the river height is quite good, many people with power boats in the water.

However, the condition of the water is poor. they have issued an alert regarding the blue-green algae outbreak in the Hume weir and that affects everything down stream. It is advised that you do not let it contact your skin or drink it.

They have erected large LED signboards at the weir to warn people of it.

Got a room booked for the Sat night in corowa. Should arrive around lunch. Might get there in time for the group photos!!

How long does the swap meet last for? It is listed as starting at 9.45am but when does it finish up? Just wondering if I'll make it.
