The Bureau Of Meteorology predicted a blustery weekend with heavy rainfall and winds; they were spot on. Lane Cove has trees down everywhere and Lane Cove North, Linley Point and Riverview have all lost power. Here is a pictorial wrap-up of the weekend. Thank you to our Roving Reporters who have done a great job. Everyone appreciates your pictures and videos.

Centennial Avenue
Phoenix Street Lane Cove
A concerned resident had written to the Lane Cove Council about this exact tree advising them that it was dead and that it should be removed, because if it fell it would hit power lines. That is exactly what happened.

Rotary field view of the Lane Cove River
At Rotary Field: our river is really fangin' it. And the mangroves smell of sulphur… surely not still dredging up the sordid past of local industry?
