That rock ledge shaped in an arrow head, just out from there was an epic dredging left-hander. You pretty much needed a boat to get to it, although you could get down there and paddle out, you had no way of getting back in when it was big.

The neighbour's cattle dog chased a wallaby off that cliff top and landed on the ledge. 90 meters straight down.

Raw and wild country I'll never forget and yearn to get back to.

Last one for today. Anyone remember the desal plant at tugun? Only cost us 200 odd million for not one drop of drinking water.

Well played Beattie, well played.

Well played Beattie, well played.

Over a Billion at last count, Braithy.
And growing, coz it has to run regardless.

Add to that the dam we were never going to have.

From someone who works in the industry I can say that it has produced water (and continues to do so) and was absolutely critical in Brisbane avoiding a loss of drinking water during both the 2011 floods and after ex-TC Oswald in 2013.

Really? That's fantastic news.

Where's the desal plant now?

Where's the desal plant now?

When you find it could you pop in and get me a cup of salt ?

[Tally]

As someone who also works in the industry I can also confirm the desal plant is still operating in a reduced capacity and produces about 25 million litres per week. Have a look next time you fly in or out of cooly it is pretty hard to miss.

[steve shearer]

can you fish next to it?

Yeah. It has to keep operating, even though we don't need the water, or it'll deteriorate.

Greenough building a water housing out of an old tyre tube.

[Tally]

the desal plant is located to the west of the runway, some fishheads know where the marine structures are loctaed and that area is fished regularly
