> I should have known better than to even think "what next?"

> I turned to the APD for a little light reading and what do I see - "Ruddy
> Roy the Colorado Boy"
> He has even started telling the plant people all about Weipa and Tentpole
> Creek no less.
>
> Of course he hasn' t spelt Weipa correctly and has attributed the deep
> green water there to "Alum" in the water which is probably a little wide
of
> the mark ( although Weipa is famous for Bauxite, a type of Aluminium ore,
> and I think tiny particles of Bauxite dust are supposed to cause the
> effect).
>
> >From memory Alum is a flocculant added to water in treatment plants to
> remove suspended matter, clay particles etc so if added to the water in
> Tentpole Creek would cause it to become clear.

> I can feel the title for a new article for FOS coming on - something like

Alumni
