Couldn't resist a final #roadtrip dip in the #Murrumbidgee River at #WaggaBeach, #WaggaWagga, NSW. ❤️🚍 #vanlife #rivers
Local photographer Graham Gall's pics of Woden, framed and ready for #FionaCarrickMLA's ACT Assembly office. I bought them a couple of years ago and have just had them framed, so they'll go to FC on long term loan. On the left is David Jensz's sculpture in front of what is now Woden's gastropub, 'The Alby' (a nice bit of urban decay!). And on the right: John Anderson's fabulous Callum Offices in Woden. Perfect addition to the oil paintings of local scenes already in the office. #Murrumbidgee
Fiona Carrick interviewed today at the Phillip Pool, flanked by a buncha hardcore supporters 😎. On the ABC TV local news tonight. #SavePhillipPool #Murrumbidgee #ACTpol
And so it begins: the end of the Phillip Pool as we know it. Thanks for nothing, Andrew Barr. You won't hear the end of it from #FionaCarrickIndependent, now she's in the Assembly. #ACTpol #Murrumbidgee (paywalled)

Australia’s Second Largest River is Drying Up – Here’s Why It Matters
Dams have taken half the water from the Murrumbidgee River, Australia’s second longest, and climate change is set to make things worse. The vast Lowbidgee Floodplain, the river's largest wetland, is drying up – a serious threat to the plants, animals, and people who depend on it. Understanding what’s happening here is crucial if we’re going to find solutions.. #SaveOurRivers #Murrumbidgee #watermanagement #WaterWise #DriestcontinentonEarth

Dams have taken half the water from Australia’s second biggest river – and climate change will make it even worse

New research shows how river flows in the once-mighty Murrumbidgee have dwindled over time, leaving the floodplain high and dry. But the main culprit is not climate change and we can fix it.

Fiona on Ross Solly's Drive show, local ABC radio, in Woden. Nailed it! #FionaCarrick #Murrumbidgee #ACTpol

My photo of an anabranch of the Murrumbidgee River in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area at Gogeldrie Weir.

The water has just been drained, leaving a thin wet film over the mud which, just at that moment, looks like silver sand. Definitely is not.

It's the @wodenvalley 's candidates' forum tonight, at Canberra College, 6.30 for 7pm. I'm on the refreshments, NOT wearing my orange TShirt, as I'm appearing in my official WVCC role... pop over and say hi if you're there. We have 18 candidates coming, including our past president Fiona Carrick 🥳. #ACTpol #Murrumbidgee
A perfect day today in #cbr... why can't it have been like this yesterday for our burn-off at Burra? Anyhoo, went for a little ride with my hammer in my backpack and banged in the corflutes that were casualties of yesterday's wind. Very nice out there! #FionaCarrick #Murrumbidgee
