Well Hi it,s been as usual a long time, now where was I, Oh yes, Ten years old and the 1956 Olympic games and little Lake Boga which recently by the way has been drained of it,s precious fluid and people living around the lake, our old house included, right on the lakes edge, are now looking at a very large black hole in the ground, by now I guess grass has probably started to grow in it, how very sad, gone are the sail boats the speed boats and water skiing fishing swimming, and everything associated will such a lovely body of water surrounded by gorgeous willow trees which are all now dead!!!!!!

Lake Boga was a great place for children to grow up, we had a lot of freedom, as very little was likely to happen to us.
We spent hours on our Horses around the back of the lake finding aboriginal relics, even found a human skull once, apparently we had come accross an old burial place and not knowing these things are sacred,and took it to the local police station!

The Wheat silo,s were another place we loved to play, but that was dangerous, we didn,t know it at the time, but we could easily have drowned in the wheat, it had happened before we found out later.
