Help us to stop the government from packaging up all this beautiful land and selling it off to big investors.  We need to keep our community alive and thriving and this means keeping good people in the district.  Farmers who want to utilise the land, young families looking for a new start, retirees looking for a tree change from the city, we want people to join our community.  The government and investors know how valuable these properties are just as we do but unfortunately all that many people have heard about Benjeroop is the floods.  For those of us that live or have lived here we know that there is so much more.  We want everyone to post all that is good about Benjeroop and Murrabit West.  Photos, stories, whatever.  Many families were forced off this land against their will. Don't let them turn this beautiful, fertile, agricultural land and riverside properties into wasteland.   Show your support and interest and help us to save our community!! http://www.facebook.com/savebenjeroop
BENJEROOP UPDATE A sad update on what is happening to the community of Benjeroop.  Earthmoving equipment has moved in to get rid of all the channels and as far as we can tell, well, everything!  A representative of rural finance (the government agency which now owns the land) has made it known that they are levelling anything over 18 inches high and don't want anyone to remember Benjeroop as it was.  Peter Walsh seems to think the community will be better off. After they are finished, the question will be - What community? When Marysville burnt, they rebuilt the entire community.  When Benjeroop flooded, they flattened it.http://www.facebook.com/savebenjeroop
1999 FLOOD STUDY By implementing the government’s own flood recommendations, future flooding could be minimised whilst agriculture and community could still thrive.
