Molong Creek flows after downpour
Hay Yabbies hit the Molong track
A severe storm warning issued for Molong on Australia Day last Sunday actually happened. Surprising the locals "Nah! Won't happen ...We've heard it all before." ... However, this time luck was on Molong's side with 90 ml (3.5 inches) of torrential rain recorded at the Railway Station in less than an hour. 100+ ml being recorded around the hospital hill and some areas within the township recording not much at all. It was good to see the Molong Creek receiving a much needed 'flush'. Unfortunately, as happens during long drought topsoil washed into a number of residences. See P4.
Molong is now 'on track' to take the title of the 'Yabby Racing Capital' ... of (NSW/Australia/the World) through the creative (and Fitzy's unique barrier design, Pg 2) ideas of the Molong Fishing Club members who held a brilliant Australia Day race meeting in the courtyard of the Freemason's Hotel. (Above) Giant racing yabbies travelled all the way from Hay to try their luck on the new Molong race track .
