Bloke in front backed off to 90kph, I thought for me to overtake, if he had just kept a reasonable speed, I'd have stayed behind him

During the draught we had years ago with water restrictions and all, Eildon was at 28%. I just checked and currently is at 36%.

I had a draught yesterday, hope I didn't effect the level. :tongue:
We've had a very dry summer and autumn, Eildon is an irrigation dam, so yeah she'll be low.
Hopefully snow melt and rain will give it a good top up
Cheers Gra

Hey Gra, that sounds like my blood alcohol level :-D

On a serious note, I have noticed that you Freshies talk about water levels (and flows as well, but let's not complicate this question). Am I being ignorant and thinking that the higher water level is better? Or, is there an optimum water level more to do with "The Goldilocks Hypothesis" , , , , not too high and not too low?

Cheers, The Big Bad Bugwolfie

It's very complicated bug
In simple terms, the higher the water level, the less distance you have to walk from the camp to the water
It was that low last year, we drove, yes a bit lazy
