We eventually got the Hindmarsh Shire 4 weeks too late for the Muster.
Those of you who attended might like to know that the Wimmera River is flowing for the first time in 5 years. It is flowing strongly through Dimboola to the weir..Hundreds of people were watching this amazing event too. Locals think that the overflow from the weir should eventually reach Jeparit
Just thought you all might like to know

Hi Neil - Great news - the Boggers certainly did well for the area.
Pick a drought affected area for next year's muster!

Local ABC news tonight.
Person being interviewed said more & more people coming to the Wimmira River flowing in Dimboola.
Said they are coming from everywhere and estimates over 3000 cars have stopped on the bridge to see this unusual event.
However it doesn't seem likely to reach Jeparit as the flow in the river disappears only 300 meters from the weir overflow

I reckon that the good people of Jeparit would like the Boggers to come back. Fantastic for them and they were a great bunch of people.
