This is not an everyday occurrence. When the same thing happened inLynton & Lynmouth, Devon 45-odd years ago, hundreds were killed and the villages demolished. This time, in a miracle, the village was demolished, and no-one was killed or seriously injured. There are also various locations where you can drive on to the beach and be caught by the tide twice a day if you're not careful. This nearly happened to me when I got stuck in a soft patch of sand at Southport, Lancs about 20 years ago. Another motorist, a local, well-used to it, towed me out. The worst is Morecambe Bay where 22 Chinese immigrant cockle-gatherers working for 'gangmasters' drowned in one incident recently. I'm quite sure you've plenty of places just as bad in Oz; you're a big country. |
