Beautiful image. Is Lake Hume at 4% capacity?
Ralph Olsson replied
Cheers mate. Yep. Crook too. BG Algae. No flush from rain. I’ve only been taking pics of the lake for 6 years…others say it has been dry in the middle – dry enough to drive your car across!!!! Anyway, this is as bad as i have ever seen it. Usually they stop the release at 6%...not sure why it is still dumping water out:/

John Vandeven
The worst I’ve seen it is 3%. Had a bit of fun cruising around taking some pics of lost treasure LOL.
Ralph Olsson replied
Yeah that’d be cool. I am waiting to see that orchard. I recall when we first arrived down here from NT, we stayed at lake Hume resort…there were fires then and they had to truck drinking water into us…i think the weir was pretty low then.
