  1. Yeah, the old Party Line, we were 2 short one long. For those that dont know what im talking about. Several properties on the one single line (party line). each property had its own signature ring controlled by turning the magneto handle. Many party lines would feed into a local exchange with an operator who could access the outside world for you.

     

     

  2. There is an operators manual for each Dam. It advises what percentage opening on the gates at various levels. As the operator you follow the Manual to the letter otherwise YOU will be held personally responsible for loss of property or life as a consequence of deviating from the Manual. Remember the debarkle surrounding this subject with Wyvanhoe Dam during the Brisbane floods.

     

     

  3. Townsville is/was a very dry city, many locals have water bores of which number there is no record. Ross River Dam was down to 15% in 2016. Several Water Bore Drilling Businesses advertise in the area. In contrast Tully, 175km up the road has the highest annual rainfall in Aus.
