[QUOTE="James, post: 4977, member: 212"] We've had a digger here for two days cleaning up flood damage . Ones natural reaction is to jump on in and scoop where you need to and pile the earth up in bunds to deter future water, to clean gravel out of creeks that have been diverted down tracks and washed them away.... But ...... it took a couple of weeks to get the machine here, and even then he had to clank ten k's up the road because the bridge has a weight limit on it and the low loader could'nt get through the ford .....and our window of opportunity when we were in a state of emergency had closed ..... so we had to abide by Ecan rules ..... which are basically no diggers in waterways disturbing the Eels and Mudfish. Which give's rise to the question .... if Ecan can dictate and prosecute if we disobey the rules , then it sends a signal that they own the management of the waterways , so can pick up the digger tab, and carpet tab, and the removing their gravel from my paddocks... and can perhaps supply the Flax and Toi Toi that needs to be planted on the berms to hold them together. And it also reinforced how important the willow is to slow the water as it rushes off the hills dragging tonnes and tonnes of gravel scouring the waterweays a metre and a half deeper..... Oh,,,, and PS ..... the hill in the background is called Mt Etna ...... we won't even go there. [ATTACH type="full" alt="D352505D-F53F-4F2D-8E43-5E492FC8C7C6.jpeg"]540[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
