Any one following Aust news will realise that there is an electrical problem in South Aust.

The lack of it!!

On they way back home recent holiday we called in to see a friend in the Barrossa valley, just after 4 pm the power went out and didnt come back on till after 11 pm, the whole state was blacked out, half dozen or so of these towers were blown over. Some parts of the state didnt get power back on for days.



After the frequent blackouts recent months, the above mentioned friend sent me this.

I think you had better see a doctor mark you have got a stutter (double post). Just goes to prove grow trees and use them to hold the power cables at least they stay up. Like the second one someone has a sense of humour

Our todays paper has shown how our shifty govt tried to pass on the unique wind storms that caused the tower failures as a way of promoting coal fed power stations as if this would not effect them.

Typical beat up.
