Katherine Bounces Back

So where the Bloody hell are you?

This page was what I had set up during the April 2006
Katherine Flood. I need to keep it on the WWW so it has better
linkages for next time ( could be years??)
If I'm
still alive, and I am in front of a PC,
this page will be revamped & updated VERY regularly during the next flood event
and or people will be redirected below
The current page used for Katherine is here

 

G'day & welcome to Katherine Northern Territory.

Thankyou to all the people from around Australia who have family & friends in town
 who have been sending their thanks on my "anonymous" free service over the Flood period.
You would not believe some information I was getting during the "event" out here.
ie it's going to be bigger than 98, x heard it was y high in town, those houses they showed with their roofs exposed were in x area.
There is a 5 metre wall of water still coming down the gorge. etc etc
They were things that I didn't mention in my stats, as I felt the internet was informing me sufficiently with the data records I was keeping from the river stations & the ABC Radio reports. Combined with "historical data on the 98 flood.
I know that the TV news will not show Katherine East high & Dry, you will mainly see the worst hit homes along Northbank
(same roofs over & over again)
Comparing the Gorge Data with Bridge data (rough as guts but it worked for me) (would I place money on it...no way)
Knowledge that the painted levels on the bridge are not accurate, so a factual report of 17.5 metres turns into a sighted 18m within 30 minutes (Oh my it is now rising at 1 metre an hour) (No it is'nt)

A regularly updated working 1800 number with 2 hourly updates would of been the most useful tool for the general public, so you could call up the latest facts (and not ring out). Not a 6 or 8 hour update.
The ABC radio coverage was fantastic, the BOM river heights (water resources data) a life saver.

Now it's back to morning or night updates as I have to get back to work.

This page has been here for several years as service to Katherine Region residents as "the" internet start page with links to news & weather and current events predominantly orientated to Katherine Region, and updated with a new photo's of the region regularly.
Try it as your start page for a while (you can always change it)


Anyone interested in the website stats? First few days of April06
Normally this page services between 25-35 individuals daily during the year
(Mostly Katherine people using it as intended as an opening page when they turn on their internet)
This has blown out to 495 individuals on Wed as word got out.
 Thursday to 1521 individual pc's.(37,000 hits in 1 day) looking at 4654 pages on my site and so far on Friday 1491 (3500pages, 36360 hits).
Dropping Saturday to 790 (the heat was off), 516 Sunday (they've moved onto another disaster around the globe just like floodwater with the peak being "it" )
357 Monday, and dropping,  2757 people referred from the rivercam site.

I'll be curious to see the figures in a month and see who is actually using the page as "intended" as a "start page".
My other site for tourism in Katherine " Our Territory" has been update so as to reassure tourists for this years season.
