The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.
Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

Re: Anyone Fishing?
My Brother and I were planning to fish the Albert and Leichhardt rivers from the little Gulf settlement of Burketown in 2 weeks time. Only an 800 mile drive instead of my usual 1200 mile drive from home.
The pics below illustrate the location.


Unfortunately, things are currently a bit wet at Burketown!

Oh well - maybe next year!

Re: Anyone Fishing?
Lee your little fishing trips are full grown journeys for most people!
I hate seeing that area all flooded over. I knew you guys had been having some lousy weather but not how bad it was. We sometimes do not pay enough attention to other parts of the world.

Re: Anyone Fishing?
They say 4-6 wks for the road to open Tom, and longer for the town to get back to some sort of normality! We had planned to stay in a cabin at the caravan park.
They have a pretty good handle on floods in that part of the world. The last BIG one was 1974, and this one is BIGGER!
