This morning I took a walk out to Lake Woodford. I hadn't been by the lake for a few years and was pleasantly surprised at how full it was. In recent past-times there had been tell-tale watermark rings along the shore, showing how seriously the drought had bitten. The Lake is not directly a part of our current water supply but is held in reserve. It was well worth the long walk, about two hours, because the lake and surrounding mountains were so lovely. Cold windy gusts blowing ripples to the sun's luminous display on the water.
The other point worth making is the fact that now it is possible to legally do the whole circuit from Winbourne Rd to Clearview Pde(or vice-versa) without incurring a $10,000 fine for trespass. Of course, nobody obeyed those warnings anyway, but now, at least, there is no need to leap into the bushes if one hears a Sydney Water truck approaching.
Score one for the responsible citizenry of the Mid Mountains. Two for uncommon common sense.
