Ideal for Noah?

Hare Le W*nk took us past some recently-released building blocks on a Kedron Brook floodplain, and there was some discussion about whether an Ark would be the appropriate house design for the area. For anyone who is thinking of buying one of these blocks, however, the Brisbane flood map should be reassuring:


This shows that the annual likelihood of flooding where they are is less than 0.2% - or in other words, that you could expect fewer than 2 floods every 1000 years. Given modern building methods, several generations of houses would crack and fall down before any of them got flooded. And who knows? Perhaps this drought will go on for the next 1000 years anyway....

It was a familiar area, which tempted some of the walkers to shortcut on the way back. They missed out on some of the other real estate developments along the way, but had another opportunity to appreciate just how dry Teralba Park is. Snags, salads, and a classy selection of desserts (?) followed. Many thanks to our hares!

Leave Pass treated us to another rendition of his tuneful contribution to the Finnish tourist industry. You'll find the original here (along with a pirate video.)

And we awarded some down, downs for various spurious reasons:
