Daly wrecks removed
AFANT Press Release ...
AFANT cleans up on the Daly River
The Amateur Fishermen’s Association of the NT Inc (AFANT) has taken action to clean up a section of the Daly River.
“For many years rec fishers travelling on the Daly River have been concerned with a couple of sites where a number of old rusted car bodies have been tumbling into the river.” Said AFANT President Warren de With today.
“A small number of abandoned car sites along the river have been gradually getting closer to and in some cases tumbling into the river as the river has eroded and changed course.”
“Last weekend AFANT has undertaken a major clean up with the support of the land owner and the local community to remove the old rusted car wrecks from the river and river bank.”
All but one of the car bodies was removed as this vehicle was partially buried and the decision was taken that removing it had the potential to cause disturbance to the river bank.
AFANT would like to thank AFANT life member Tony Hare, Vista Gold Pty Ltd, Darwin Game Fishing Club, Palmerston Game Fishing Club, NT Feral Pig Harvesting, Rydar (Tuddy) and Stuart Salzgeber, Garry Higgins MLA and the Victoria/Daly Shire Council for their support and assistance for this project.
The Daly River is one of the Territory’s iconic fishing rivers; it is beautiful and in a relatively natural state and AFANT is proud to be involved in cleaning up this site to improve the environmental health of this important recreational fishing river system.” Mr de With said.

Should have piled them directly onto a barge and created another reef at Lee Point to fish.
Good work on removing them from the banks though.

Re: Daly wrecks removed
Are you serious?
You claim someone fired a rifle at you just missing your daughter and hitting your boat. This is called attempted murder.
Your response is to tell a caravan park operator!
Have you not heard of the 000 phone service? Did you report this extremely serious incident to Police at any time and make a statement?

Re: Daly wrecks removed
I can assure that the police wont 'do nothing'.
So just out of interest, when what type of matter would you report? So the next time they shoot at you, will you report that or just be too lazy and say 'what can you do'? again.
I report some pr..k pinching my beers out of my fridge.

Yeah, but your a Territorian Nomad. You have Territorian priorities.nomad wrote: I report some pr..k pinching my beers out of my fridge.
If the bullet had of lodged in Fish4me123's esky, might have been a different action.
