Any local could tell you that "Norah Head" on the eastern side of the lake (on the coast) traditionally has the highest rainfall in the area.
he was basically laughed at.
personally i think the idea has merit

Well there is a message there one we all know already. People love to knock things heck I do it all the time but there are many places and opportunities like that. I dont like the idea of diverting rivers inland but maybe with a East Coast Dam system our supplus could go inland and we all know we need it out there. We complain the clouds take our views away but most of us pray for rain nevertheless.. we face in effect the prospect of drinking our own sewerage.. imagine being able to boast to turists they dont get that crap here.
Well when you see another human holding another up for the object of a joke I recon we could ask why..the poly backed down because he was laughted at..I dont think so he did the numbers and took into account the green vote maybe.
I recon the idea has merit otherwise I would not bother with it.
