Apparentley more water fell on Melbourne on Sunday than has on LA since April 2024.

How much rain did Melbourne get?

Last year on NYD 2024 in Northern NSW we had 250mm of rain. It washed away the driveway and would have washed away the 100 year old timber bridge but it was replaced with a concrete behemoth (relatively speaking) a year earlier. So instead it washed out 5m of road either side by midday New Years Day.

In 2023 during less than one half of that game in which we beat Freo the spot where i lived received 145mm.

This will only get worse.

We live next to a couple of assisted living residences, they take all types including a new lady a few days ago. Ever since there's been almost non stop screaming like some mix of an angry dog's bark, someone getting the best and longest rogering of their lives and someone getting that bamboo shoved under their fingernails torture.
It's really changed the vibe in the backyard inside and out. (edit for accuracy)

Her name isn't Alex is it?

Yeah could be. Cant find out for sure tho, the ambo's just whisked her away. Hope the drugs kick in an give her some peace.
Ahh the serenity, minus the #@$! crickets that is

There was a woman down the road lived in a tent and carried on like that. Disappeared a month ago after allegedly threatening a kid with a Tomahawk. I heard she was on the mainland in some sort of care facility. Its highly unlikely but these sort of coincidences do happen sometimes.

Turns out all you need is a bit of a landslide to get a group of engineers, a couple of diggers and a bloke with a turny thing to get the roads fixed of their continual water flowing ...... Certainly not helped at all by the influx of diverted traffic. I caught the sound of a somewhat angered torrent of rhetoric aimed at said engineers from 1 local less than impressed that his water was off. I do however take a little guilty pleasure in watching cars zing up Latrobe Pde on their way down to Portsea, and get lured into the mini labrynth of Foord, Burton and Hearn, with a little Drury thrown in. Certainly not the place for towing your larger than average fishing vessel

This is so heartbreaking.

Moe Turaga came to Australia for a better life. He became a victim of modern slavery

Moe Turaga would work over 60 hours a week, seven days, on a grape farm on the Victoria/NSW border. Two years into his work, Mr Turaga discovered he had not been paid a cent.

All to often occurrence in this country.

Certainly nothing like the scale of the Turaga story, but it reminded me of it .... circa the end of 94 I was in Israel working on a Moshav ..... my mate Gary and I had bargained with our farming host that we'd bang out 13 days straight to get a saturday off and head into Beerhseba, the nearest big joint, and have a day out. Anyway, said farmer gives us our paycheck on the friday night and we head of early the next morning. We get to the bank with our cheques, only to be told we could only get them cashed at the Tel Aviv branch ... like hours away! Profanity ensued, followed by an hour or so wandering through a Bedouin market. Eventually we decided to hit the Hut, sit in some air conditioning and have a beer and pizza feast. Took a little moment to figure out what was wrong with the Hawaiian pizza .... no ham!! We were pretty pi$$ed off and were keen to just up and leave the farm .... except old mate had our passports .... Reckon I left maybe 2 weeks later, copped a spray from the farmers wife, nasty piece of work she was .... sh!t joint, **** 'em

Thoughts on attending the Avalon Airshow?

I’m 40/60 atm

The plane variety seems to get less and less

Thoughts?

Only been to the one 4 years ago I think, but will go this year. Also fortunate to live 5 minutes from Tyabb which is obviously smaller but still good to check out every couple of years as well.

Keen to see the F18 and the Roulettes.

How was the traffic on the Westgate freeway when you went?

Moto the point of your reply, what current vintage war planes are operating from Tyabb? Do you get to see any of them in the air these days?

I was fortunate to go to the first two back in the 90’s and the Russians came out and it was brilliant seeing the SU do the Cobra

I can’t see many US planes on the list atm

Seeing a B52 was huge flying over the You Yangs in 2005
