Hi Guys, well one certainly gets the message about how dry i really is when Ballarat is covered in dust storms, and our lake catches fire.
Yes at 4am this morning I woke to the smell of smoke and quickly got up to investigate, only to discover later that our central attraction, Lake Wendouree, was fully ablase.
Yea I know it sounds strange, but the poor thing, Our lake, that is has been bone dry for years, in the grip of this lasting drought.
I can remember some time ago it was so full that it lapped the surrounding road and walking path.
Pretty sad to see actually
Leon
