A JAILBREAK, a strong year for farmers and two major lottery wins for Wagga - this is what we have to look forward to in 2012 according to a local psychic. Maria Campbell, an experienced psychic who is moving from The Rock to the mountains of Tangambalanga, has used her sixth sense to predict that we are in for a year of "progression". Although her forecast for a crocodile to come out of the Murrumbidgee River in 2011 didn't happen, the feeling it will one day occur hasn't left her. "I still say that we will have a crocodile in the river - we've come very close, particularly with the flooding," she said. Wagga City Council is in for a tumultuous year under Ms Campbell's vision and luckily the public are set to benefit from the dramatic changes. "There's going to be some reshuffling going on in there," she said. "It is needed ? I do feel that it is going to take a big shake-up. "At the moment they put their own needs first but from the changes they will start working for the people." A Urana goldmine, a train derailment in the region and a warning to watch out for snakes are just some of the other forecasts on the cards. New Zealand and Japan are going to face more hardship this year as earthquakes will again hit the countries. "There is going to be a massive earthquake in Japan and New Zealand - New Zealand has been wearing it," she said. Gossip magazines and tabloids are not going to be short of things to cover either over the next 12 months. According to Ms Campbell Charlie Sheen is going to be getting up to "more strife", Lindsay Lohan is "an incurable lost soul" likened to Amy Winehouse and Mel Gibson will be heading back to Australia after sorting some issues out. When asked about Kate Middleton and her prospects of being a new mother, Ms Campbell was sure 2012 was going to be the year for a new addition to the royal family. "If she's not already pregnant," she added. The Daily Advertiser would like to know what you predictions for Wagga are? Follow @ashleighgleeson
