Awash with High Tide and Rain

Volunteers worked tirelessly to fill and place sand bags in an attempt to save shacks from flooding during the high tide last Monday afternoon/ evening. The high tide covered the samphire ‘swamp’ area, filled the tidal pool and overflowed onto the road. The caravan park front row was awash with water and the boat ramp area was flooded when water rose above the wharf. Storm water drains in Mine Street could not discharge street water and the tide pushed sea water up through the drain onto and over Mine Street at the intersection of West Street.

Awash with High Tide and Rain (cont.)

Volunteers worked in the rain, sometimes up to their knees in water in an attempt to curb the invasion of sea water but once the tide reached its peak the water flowed so quickly they struggled to maintain it especially when night fell. Well done to those volunteers. Not an easy task under such difficult conditions.

Forty five minutes before high tide, looking back at the town from Pelican Bay road which also was inundated in

parts.

The tidal pool filled and became one large ‘lake’ with the samphire ‘swamp’. Notice the shelter on the western side of the pool.

Boating anyone? The boat ramp pontoon rose above the wharf with the high tide.

Once the water receded it exposed the top layer of the newly restored dry stone wall had been washed away.

Forward Notice: There will be no newsletter

Who Remembers?

‘Swamp Bob’ (Robert Hay) camped at Pelican Bay in 1988 after moving from Ardrossan. Remaining a recluse he stayed at Pelican Bay until local residents visited him to find out more about him and his situation. He eventually moved into the back shed behind Julie and Tommy Robertson’s house. Making himself at home there he began to plant a variety of vegetables on the vacant block which he shared with locals as they passed. His history remains a mystery as he was reluctant to share personal details with anyone. ‘Swamp Bob’ passed away in22 March 2004 at Balaklava Hospital.

The Attendant According to a tale related by a journalist Walter Kiernan, a customer in a department store in Denmark walked into the ladies’ toilet one day, only to be stared at in a very unfriendly manner by the attendant when she didn’t leave a tip. The woman consequently complained to the management, who decided to do a check on the toilet attendant. It transpired that she wasn’t one of the store’s employees at all but a woman who had wandered into the restrooms a year previously and sat down to do a bit of knitting. Mistaking her for the attendant, customers began leaving her tips. So the woman had returned to the store every day, bringing her knitting with her.
