It seems that a group of 34 Filipino guest workers at the nearby shipyards at Henderson were given the right to sew wet grain rice in the muddy bed of the lake. The results look great and it looks as though it is about two months off harvest. The ground will be, I think, still too soggy for a harvester to go in there and we are just wondering how they plan on harvesting the rice. I guess it will end up being harvested by traditional methods…by hand with long knives. Should make for some pretty unique photographs when it happens.

About the rice and the guest workers; I was just joshing. The pics of the lake before and now are real. Please don’t go ringing the council to complain.

Wow... I was "googling" the drying up of Bibra Lake and came across your blogs. I drive past every Wednesday to play basketball at the Lakeside Recreation centre and have done so for about 5 years. The lake looks like it has almost completely disappeared!! It is getting noticeably worse and worse every day... :(
