Shirley, you may need to ring the SES again, as once they leave an area they assume all jobs are done. Good luck with the trees, it sounds pretty scary for you. Council should remove the cut up bits in their storm collections for free. xx
Enjoy the driving Dotty. xxx

Nope staying put and besides too far to travel need a week to drive that far if I rushed.
Much prefer to dawdle along.
Just got home on Friday.

I rang SES myself last Tuesday & was told we are on the list a crane is needed to remove the 3 trees.
The SES told the neighbour that they don't remove the trees only fell them & if it is all put out on the verge the pile would be huge.
There is already a huge tree down root exposed laying in the yard that has brought down a couple of smaller trees.
I just wish that they would get them down soon strong westerly wind today at least it is blowing them away from our house but if they fall we will still get damage.
Sorry off topic hope all the Blue Gum Lakers have a super good get together & behave themselves.

Sorry guys it is now official, the Suzy pulley has to be a genuine one and has to come from Sydney and he won't see till Wednesday, even if he fitted Wed morn it is still 2 days down there so I am afraid I am a reluctant scratching. Pity, have been looking forward to it.

We are now stopped a few ks outside of Balranald (3.45pm) did grand total of 315ks today
. As we left Parilla this morning we were flagged over by the fuzzies, asked for licence and to blow into the bag
copper turns out to be from our area.
after that nothing eventful to speak of so settled for the night. Might make it by tomorrow if all goes well tomorrow.
