The feeling throughout the day was fantastic and upbeat, despite a complete over reaction by the Brumby government in its deployment of police force. Over the weekend we had the police helicopter throughout Saturday night and Sunday, mounted police, police in speed boads and jetskis, police on dirt bikes as well as massive numbers of police on foot.
This initially dampened the festive community spirit - but as soon as the first person got across the fence, that all changed."
Great action - let's see if we can do better over here at Ratcliffe in October!

For example you have to be remarkably intelligent to pump desalinated water from bass stait to the same place where salinated water has been pumped from yea.
