Level at 0845am |
Level at 5.00pm |
Robbie & I went down to check the level of the river at 5 pm. I reckon it has subsided by about 30cm, or one foot since this morning (see two pictures). In the first, the post on which the Jetty floats has all but disappeared; whereas in the second, it is starting to protrude through the end of the Jetty.
However, that is not the point of this story. On our way back, there was a Real Estate Agent (Lucas Wilson, to be exact - but I won't mention any names) showing a couple through one of the houses that is for sale on the Estate.
Agent: "You'll love the environment here - so peaceful and quiet."
Prospects: "Yes, it's nice to be so near the river, my husband loves fishing. By the way, what are all those people doing down at the river's edge?"
Agent: "Oh, they are just checking on the condition of the water."
Prospects: "And why would they be doing that?"
Agent: "Well, ah, aaaaaah, I guess they are worried that the whole place is about to flood."
As Sherwyn from 'The Big Bang Theory' would say - BAZINGA!!
