Well gentlemen, I posted on this blog previously about our little shack on the far north coast of NSW built right on the water 60 years ago. I reported the xmas tides that actually went thru the shack and have done so as long as I can remember. Sadly I have to report that the last two xmas tides have been very disappointing. We were told to expect 2mm, so dutifully packed all the furniture fairly high, sadly all we got was 1.7 mm which was only a spit not a flood, ( I rely on this flood to kill the bindies in the grass, and saves the xmas guests hopping on one foot, you all know what I mean) I am beginning to fear that global warming has passed us by, but am hoping the tax will restore all.
