Tonight they showed the oil being scooped up by bucket.
Pretty sure I saw a programme last year where they were at the same quarry and were using bacteria to eat the oil. This was hailed as a miracle procedure. I thought it was amazing. What went wrong?

I remember that, didn't watch tonight though. Want the bacteria supposed to take 20 years or something?

I did recognise the pub at the end of the Drover item, had a cheeky pint there on a ride a couple of years ago.

Saw that

Why is it still open to atmosphere ?

Stop wild life getting to it ! - have seen similar problems in california and they go to great lengths to ensure wildlife are kept out !
