    I saw a sword(remembered the spelling:thumbup sticking out of a full codend one time as we were hauling and all the factory hands were like what's that sticking out of the bag. I kept my mouth shut and shot below to my work shop to grab a hacksaw , couldn't find it cos the bloody meal man had beaten me to it and flogged my saw !

    The river is pretty bloody low here and full of weed and cyna bacteria that can be fatal to dogs.

    This morning Mrs Dundee,Sean and myself headed to the headwaters where the river was like a creek but at least there was no weed.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Was there a small creek running into the river around there? We see that a bit at this one place in the river in summer, I reckon they are there for the colder water coming out of the creek.
