I always neck at least a can of coke after every session wherever i have been,
not had the rusty water once.

the water quality is pretty obvious tbh if you look at st kilda today the water is still a very murky brown with stuff,, debris,, bobbing around.

The sad fact is the water boards will keep doing this as currently they don't get fined for doing so.
the back lash and insurance fallout would be massive if residents sewage backed up, but even with a fine for dumping sewage, the water board would always do the lesser of two evils,
the lesser being the one that costs them less.

As for Melbournians drinking lots of quality coffee, well better that then eating the local fish ey???
nothing like paying twice to eat you own ssshhh.

Looks like this could be continuous throughout winter if we keep getting these downpoors Might have to venture out of the bay more often although not too many coastal areas suit a Northerly...


I've had a fairly rewarding Kite at (or near) Silverleaves on Philip Island in a Northerly. Wind was clean enough, but I guess it's not all that convenient unless you have a day/weekend to kill.

Do you really get sick from the water quality? It might be good for you, they're doing poo transplants to treat parkinsons...

I think I'm too desperate not to hit it on Saturday. Although pending my hangover I might trek down the coast.
