Big flood

As Paul Metsers would say in the song 'Farewell to the Gold' - there was a terrible flood... Yes, indeed - a little while ago it rained and rained for about two days straight and the River got higher and higher until... Whoosh... It bust the man made pebble banks that were made to protect the town.

Now, I can't remember whether it was before or after the flood, but apparently it was reported on the evening news that someone had found a rather large nugget of gold... Actually I do remember - the news report was before the flood, because the Sunday after the flood I took a walk up Sawpit Gully, and some kids were out with a pan and a shovel - they must have been inspired by the big find! The river was still high and they were looking in the wrong place, but they were having fun :)

That big flood's got me thinking that there's probably a heap of new gold to be found out there... ;)
