North/South I reckon.

Nope, definitely East/West

I was working on Napier street basically running North/South. Year ago I took my son to the ground and into the muesem there.

Napier Street runs North/South but as someone who has attended many games there and still do occasionally I can assure you the ground runs East/West

Yes, hence why the cricket pitches were moved from E/W to N/S

Thebby is like Prospect.

Difficult to play on (against the home side) until you get used to it.

$93/qtr every qtr
I don't have mains sewerage and the whole house is plumbed into rainwater.

So basically $93 because mains water is connected to my house

How do you unblock a downpipe that is full of leaves? Ive cleared all the gutters and as much as of the down pipe that I can get with my hand but still overflowing.

Depends where the downpipe goes?
Into a rainwater tank or out to the street?

Could try the pressure cleaner to blow them through but it could clog it up permanently also.

Worse case scenario you could hire a plumbers snake and put it down there as that will work every time.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

I bought one last year, the wife and I had just been for a jog and decided to pressure clean our carport, as she was operating it the handle on the front tap blew off shooting water high up into the air, we couldn't find the "grey water" meter so I was trying to push the handle back in to try and screw it back on while water was just drenching us, I looked over at the missus and noticed her white running singlet and then the half a dozen people that had stopped in their tracks to watch the chaos.
We haven't tried using it since.

Thanks lads, gives me a few clues, I do have a pressure cleaner but might try that last as I dont want to make it worse by jamming the leaves even more together...the downpipe does into the ground and out the back of our place into a easement. Gives me the shits as the tree where the leaves are coming from is the neighbors

The pricks in the mansion-like house next to us have a claret ash tree that leaks leaves all over our outdoor entertainment area, I feel like chucking them back over the fence.
