Things that give you the sh1ts

Falling into West Lakes this morning.

Haha elaborate

Yes please!

Just overbalanced standing on a slippery rock.


Now I'm sick so I really have the shits.

The fargen dodgy mechanic across the road who was doing a burnout in a customers car and has just taken out my back fence

What sort of bloody mechanic is fixing cars at 7.30pm on a Sunday night!

[GWW]

When you report the mechanic to their employer, I doubt they will have a job for much longer, FC.

Either that, or perhaps threaten to report it to their employer and/or police if they don't pay for and arrange repairs immediately to said fence.

[Footy Chick]

He's the owner!

Police were called, dont you worry!

[GWW]

Name and shame him on Today Tonight or ACA

[Footy Chick]

I won't go that far - but if anyone knows someone that drives a black SAAB with rego plate number B2B then you might want to let them know that their mechanic crashed their car!

Isn't West Lakes salt water?

Isn't West Lakes salt water?

I've never tasted it but I have a feeling you are correct, it appears to run from Port River. I always thought it was a man made lake that was enclosed.
Pretty cool really, it's 9:23am and I've learnt something new for the day.

Nope, it runs out into the Port River. The inlet is at the Trimmer Parade end ( near Grange ) and the outlet, under Bower Road ( bottom of Grand Junction ) is opened up to twice a day. I think it may be listed somewhere in government despatches.

Yes, it is man made, my Dad's first job out of school ( he finished year 6 ) when growing up in the Port was catching rabbits on the swamp land that is now West Lakes and skinning them before selling them on his paper round in the pubs of the Port for extra money.

It's subject to tidal flows, whilst it probably isn't the same level of salt content as regular sea water it would have to be close.

Also that is how that noxious sea weed (can't recall the exact name) got established in SA. Some idiots dumped a fish tank into the lake and it eventually ended up in the Port River as well.

Thanks Boonbag, sounds like our dad's may well of knocked about together in the day.

Caulerpa Taxifolia

PIRSA believe it was from a fish tank, could never be proven though and it was eradicated by not flushing the lake system. Remember a few years ago they stopped swimming/rowing etc for 6 months in the lake as they attempted to kill off the weed by not feeding it any fresh water, which, was in fact salt water. The lack of salt eventually killed it off.

The outlet only opens at low tide, so yes, in some ways tidal flow dictates the lakes flushing.
