Does anyone have some pics of RAAF Amberley at present, the Warrill Creek is currently at moderate flood levels so parts of the base may be affected.

To build and maintain....
And they have just ordered the Sydney desal plant to commence production because of the risk of contamination to water from usual sources...

Aviation is not the only human activity which is vastly more complex than is apparent to the untrained casual observer.

'Drift'...Pardon the pun...given the thread.....

Thankyou Mr n,
The plant is situated at Kurnell, and I'm led to believe that it supplies only the Southern Suburbs of Sydney, i.e. The Sutherland Shire and surrounds mostly, although some goes to Kyeema and is piped into its contribution to the overall 15% of The Greater Sydney's water supply.
Its purpose was to take the pressure off the remaining 85% handled mostly by Warragamba / Prospect Resevoir.


I guess that the remainder will be treated accordingly to avoid the risk of contamination etc......

Just an untrained casual observer observing......
