The Sunday History Photo

Doug we are on 2wks holidays at Forster right now, and only yesterday I was reading a plaque erected near the Forster side landing....lists a history of the services provided and all the ferrymen's names....take a photo later and put it up.

As I mentioned the Maitland floods it prompted me to do a search, found this website, on reading this section makes again wonder what all the fuss is about this Climate Change crap

## The winter of 1954 was very mild. August 1954 still stands at as being one of the warmest August in history. Monthly rainfall totals from October 1954 to February 1955 were above average across a large area of the Hunter. Many locations received there highest rainfall totals on recorded. ##

Hunter Floods of 1955

I was a little kid at school at Singleton in the 55 floods . Our farm on a hilltop , was cut off and was an island in a huge sea . I was going past there the other day , and there is no farm there anymore - all housing estates - I hope they have insurance for flood damage !.

Surely the question is what will the grand children think of us if we gamble on the future. I think its called RISK MANAGEMENT ..... not convenient but probably wise....silverback

Are you that old?

Old timer eh but!!

Hi Doug,

I remember the Foster-Tuncurry ferry very well also the Hexam-Raymond Terrace Ferry.

I sat in the middle of the 1955 floods for 3 days just south of Singleton where we lived.
