The river levels are rising, so much so that we could not drive down to Hebel’s Bend.

The caravan park has relocated all the on-site cabins to higher ground as well as relocating their office.

It is anticipated that the river will rise and fall at least three times over the next six months as water flows into the Murray from its huge catchment area.

These are the photos that we took at the following locations:

  • Berri Marina

Crusher dust was brought in to make the new drive round driveway.

Topsoil was brought in for the new garden beds.

Native plants were purchased and an irrigation dripper system fitted.

Ten (10) solar lights were fitted along the line separating the drive round driveway and the garden area.

A number of ceramic ornaments made by my wife have been placed in the garden area.

This was all done whilst I was in Adelaide working – seeing it all finished in a week was a very big surprise!

This is our 12 of 12 for February 2009. The 12th of February was a Thursday. I forgot to take my camera to work so all of my 12 of 12 photos were taken after work.

Having taken a photo of the petrol station price board in January, it will be interesting to compare on a month to month basis the price of fuel over the year.

Compared to January ULP increased 28.4c/ltr and LPG increased by 18.4c/ltr.

EDIT: As at 10 February 2009 at least 173 people confirmed dead with the number expected to top 200.

Totally unbelievable. The worse natural disaster in Australian history.

The Downloads and Links pages has been updated. A couple of obsolete plugins have also been removed.

Overall, I’m happy with the layout of the website and the consolidation in the domain names.

Over the past few days I’ve updated WordPress to version 2.7. Tweaked the CSS style sheets for the website. Exported content from my other domains and imported that content into this domain. This will result in me having to only maintain one website in lieu of the number that I was previously maintaing.

This should enable me to make updates more frequently than I have this year.

All content has been reviewed and any posts deemed irrelevant have deen deleted.
