Ah you pair, it's just a PIPE dream :mocking: sorry I really couldn't help that one

I reckon it is great idea and should have been built about 80 years ago

Ex Premier Beattie said they(Qld) have plans dating back to the depression(1930's) to pipe water South to NSW,Vict. & SA.

should have done it

imagine the $$$ QLD could earn and the $$$ they would have saved on things like flood damage recovery

and imagine the ability to save our farmers in times of drought ?

old Joe was too busy building himself fancy roads into Kingaroy and not putting more into infrastructure for QLD

we'd drive hundreds of miles when I was a  kid (out west QLD)
one year - bulldust and dead cattle & sheep all the way
next year - plain floods and bog

I used to think about ways of capturing water run off, building more dams and long distance pipelines when I was a teenager

should have done engineering

had 3 in the family but I am not one of them!! ha ha

making rivers would be cheaper and easier, just a thought

I think Bradfield is one of the projects Beattie was talking about but there were others.
