“megalitres, what kind of a metric is that?!?! I can’t visualise it at all. How many Boxing Day kids pools is it? Now that’s something you can set your watch by”
At work I’m like ‘1 hectare?’ goes off to work out how many 1/4 acre blocks that equates to
MCG field is about 2 hectares
What’s worse is I heard the story on TV via ABC News where they mentioned Olympic sized pools, so went to their website first to grab a link for here, but their written word didn’t match, so had to Google another source.
