Y2Kyoto: State Of Aneroxia Envirosa

My wife and I started the process of emigrating to Australia in the mid sixties because of the anger we experienced for our Jewish/Christianity marriage. Too much anger on the Jewish side. Acceptance on the Christian family side which did not extend to everyone else.
When we reviewed the process for Australian entry the acceptance was for European ancestry applicants only. This still within a generation of WWII we did not think this was an acceptable start for our married life.
Thankfully after reading the present liberal policies of Australia (I know the Liberal party of Australia is a conservative party)I continue to happy we remained in Canada.
John Diefenbaker in his six years as Prime Minister did more to erase the antisemitism of the Liberal Governments and the apartite systems of South Africa than any Canadian government, except the still in process Steven Harper led Conservative government; Cheers;

That sign must have been erected before Obama gave the speech where he proclaimed; “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal”.
How were they supposed to know?

There are no bullet holes in that sign. They have given up the fight. They could have used a drill to make it look like they had a pair.

They used to have things like this in a paper. They called them comics.
Only that was make believe, here its become real.

The dingo ate my river.

No swimming huh? Even if I wear a life jacket so I don’t succumb to the raging torrent?

Green regulations being used for their real purpose.
Oppression.

“Green regulations being used for their real purpose.Oppression.”
Exactly. A while back I read a lot of Chinese fiction. It chronicled the frustration of the poor people in China who had to deal with rules changing constantly at the whim of the local boards and committees. Of course these rule changes always had a positive effect on family and friends of committee members and had an adverse effect on anyone else.

Heh, Brian, I believe that sign was photo-shopped in to punctuate the ridiculousness of the watercourse ordinance.

// There are no bullet holes in that sign //
The sign is photoshopped into the ditch which is shown in other photos.
There are empty watercourses all about & the blogger explains that you can follow them as they “flow”.
[there is a watercourse cafe right in town]
I’m not knowledgable about this particular area, but in areas like this there is generally no observable water until, suddenly, there is a lot.
People die in floods in desert Texas, etc. And, during one of these squalls, it looks from the terrain that whatever contaminants are in or on the soil could be carried along.
For example, some flood photos with this text —

Joanne invites us to // follow the tree line of these dry gullies in a google map and see that they eventually might meander into salt pans that are kilometers away. //
She doesn’t state the distance or direction to the salt pans, but the really dry areas are East of Narrogin, & the water flow is to the west..
A land form map of which
// Figure 2 highlights three landscape categories in the district.
The western part is the Darling Range Zone (DRZ), [where the water goes, landscape ] cut by a few large waterways from further east.
[Easternmost] is the Ancient Drainage Zone (ADZ), [featuring] flat drainage systems, with salt lakes.
Runoff often does not reach the sea.
Between the two is the Rejuvenated Drainage Zone (RDZ), which has active river drainage systems . //
Narrogin is shown dead centre of the Rejuvenated Drainage Zone.
Given some small degree of thought, it is not surprizing that water management is a big deal in Australia, & that there might be powerful gov’t programs & tough regulations involved.
Akin [say] to rules Alberta has for blocking rats from Saskatchewan.
An example from the area–
// I have spent close to 30 years […] talking to farmers about allowing natural regeneration to occur along their creeklines (nature renewing itself with virtually no outside inputs save fencing to keep the stock out).[…] after helping establish such a riverine environment on a degraded property west of Kojonup, there was still water in the creek at the end of summer, something not seen for decades. Within five years that creekline went from scalds and saltpans to a luxuriant shrubland with the emergence of eucalypt woodland species. All it took was cooperation between the people involved, and a fence! […]
If you travel east of Narrogin, on the Harrismith Road, you can see 10 year old thick stands of paperbarks naturally regenerating on formerly salt-affected drainage lines, the result of local people acting cooperatively (building a fence) for a common good. //
Still, it looks like they have been jerked around. In the last few years, Austalians have learned a lot about the problems of drought, fire etc. No idea why

Hey Peter, you are one seriously funny dude!! :~D,

Yes. If you click on the image and go to the linked site, there’s a notation under the pic: ‘(Sign added)‘. Kate’s just being coy with us, I suspect?
