What did Kurl see and so this week?

There’s a real buzz around the local district.

It’s the bloomin’ mozzies.


A lot of the farming folk outside the levees of Kerang, Cohuna and Koondrook, must feel like the forgotten poor cousins.

Hope that everything is OK and you are all coping.


With a bit of water hanging around of late, one local was heard to say, “Both my pair of boots are wet”.

Last time this happened it was a bit warmer, so they’d dry a bit quicker. Those brilliant workers who are doing all they can to help, your boots could be wet for a while yet.

Hang in there, you are much appreciated.


With a few different air craft around, bringing in the army, covering news or whatever, Kerang airport is a destination they’d prefer public aircraft to stay away from.

Believe that Mad Dog got a flight in before there were any restrictions around. Hope you got some good shots, Waz.


Was that a ute stuck in a bit of water out the Old Kerang road? Or was I seeing things?


There was a lot of water around Mitiamo last Tuesday. Hope they are all doing OK there.

Not too sure how it’s travelling, but we know that all that water will eventually get into the Pyramid Creek, Kow Swamp.

Either way, it’ll get to Pyramid Hill then make its way further north.


While out driving the other day, the mobile went so I pulled over where I thought it wasn’t too wet.

The side of the road looked dry, but was actually quite wet, so be careful folks. I could of got bogged.

So, I was in the middle of nowhere and as soon as I got out of the car – mozzies.


Kurl caught up with Peter Millar over a sandbag or two the other week. Pete has been flat out organising his buses, and did well to get back into Kerang for a bit of a rest, but then he worked hard filling the bags.

Good on you, Peter, but isolation is probably not the best spot for a spell.


Speaking of driving buses, Hirdy would be spending most of his days round at Chick’s garage, annoying him, I mean helping him, now that there’s no kids at school.

Could be a while yet before school is back too Al. You’ll have all the cars in Kerang purring like kittens.


A helicopter was seen on the Cohuna oval the other day. With local cricket pitches being a bit too damp for a match, it was assumed that Cohuna curator Bruce Milthorpe had called in the big guns to dry the wicket. Always a step ahead, Bruce.
