Yes @glasshouse, but I'm just not familiar with this 300 year old aristocrat who is selling it off.

This is random but very close to what our two youngest kids were doing in the lounge 10 mins ago.

Yip
It was 15c at midday but by 7 oclock and heavy showers passing it got cold.
There was a touch of hail too.
That field is an army training area , rough as .
Lots of slit trenches to avoid

A MEGA MINE 450m from the Namoi River ? - mining has its place but it’s certainly not the creation of the VICKERY MEGA MINE project. Whitehaven just retrenched many of their contractors bc they can’t sell the coal they are producing today. They didn’t have enough water during the drought for their existing mines, they are planning to shift all their coal washing plant to next door to the Namoi river - what could possibly go wrong? ? there’s room for all responsible industries however this mine possibly means the Namoi turns into the Hunter Valley is that really what we want? The water impacts of the mine will put pressure on groundwater and river flows - in the 2012 flood whitehaven released contaminated water from the pit without approval.

Some points from the Boggabri farmers and community
If something goes wrong with this project it will be the river and downstream water communities that will pay the price. This is not an extension, this is a greenfield site. Although Whitehaven Coal have approval for a much smaller mine, they never intended to proceed with it. Instead it was just a foot in the door for this mega mine. They do not have enough water for this mine. The Department of Planning (DPIE) admits this in their assessment. Whitehaven were scrambling for water with its existing mines last year. They propose a borefield with a transect of 10 bores in the Namoi alluvium approx 6km from Boggabri town water bores. Our research shows that last year they would have needed 3300ML more than their current licence entitlements from this source. When rainfall exceeds just 38mm over 5 days, the Mine will be allowed to release water from sediment dams directly into the Namoi River. Mining has reached saturation point around Boggabri. Existing mines have already bought out nearly 80 farms in the district. The Narrabri Shire Council has formally objected to the mine, believing that it is not in the community’s interest. The mine will leave a final void lake that will, in perpetuity, be filled from groundwater seepage eventually becoming more saline than seawater. The proposal includes a railway line that traverses some 14 kms across the Namoi floodplain which to date has no structural design. Yet, the DPIE has determined it will have no impact on flooding in the region. The mine includes an overburden dump 200 ha in size over the Namoi Alluvium that DPIE’s own water division does not support because of fears it will leech toxic contaminants into the aquifer.
