G'day Christian,

Replying to a message of Christian Paulings to Jeff Green:

 >> Georges and Woronora.

 CP> I am aware of the location of the Georges river is, but the other one
 CP> is an unknown to me. I will get a better atlas  (or map)

It's a bit further south.

 CP> Unfortunately the Derwent river is getting too polluted now. The fish
 CP> just are not there anymore. I do not trust eating oysters that are
 CP> farmed in the Derwent when there is 10,000 tons of concentrated zinc
 CP> ore sitting under the Tasman bridge.  Short term may not be a
 CP> problem, but as far as I know, heavy metals accumulate over time
 CP> before their poisoning symptoms appear

It that when that boat hit the bridge way back whenever? Yes, I think heavy
metals do work like that.

 CP> Would you be happy eating any fish that you knew had been caught in
 CP> the Georges river? If the answer is no, I rest my case. :-)

I'd eat them so things aren't that bad.

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
