South Australia is set to receive $1.4 million for fourteen projects to help reduce the impact and risk of natural disasters

Interesting that one of the projects is to install a new fire tower at Winters Hill.
yep i saw this a week or more ago on our local news up here. they reported it ws going to be manned by SES members during high risk fire days.

I doubt that would happen...
i thought we had worked out that a fire tower is a waste of money in a mostly urban fringe(ish) area in the 21st century?
$70k isnt going to get you much of a tower and associated facilities....best the orange suited chaps get them harnesses comfy so that when they are hauled up the 30m flagpole with a tin can they dont get a cramp
just as well there arent any other higher real projects to throw good money after :?

:-D No worries MT - I just don't know whats going on with Andrew Mac these days :wink:. My bigest concern would be trying to keep the "Orange Peril" from trying to abseil off the thing! And Boardy is right - where does their boat fit into all of this? :evil:
Have a good one cheers
