ABC News showed some dramatic footage, of the area of water coverage along
the Lachlan. Anyone thinking of going out into the Condobolin-Lake
Cargelligo area, take care. With the amount of rain out there, a lot of the
dirt roads tend to go to soup, which makes stopping quickly, and cornering
interesting. Last time I ventured into that area (work related), I had to
have the ute's brake rotors cleaned of baked mud, and for weeks, slabs of
Lachlan mud dropped from underneath the ute. It quite alarmed me, the first
time it happened. Probably not as much as the guy that was drivung fair up
my bum.. He dropped right back, for some reason. Probably though I had a
secret button, and could drop a load at any time.
