I feel sorry for the residents of Collaroy but I think it's a big stretch, them saying that the Council should have built a sea wall to protect them years ago.

These people pay out millions to live up close and personal with the beach. Then they expect the rate payers to spend millions to protect them for when mother nature has its way.

It's a bit like me saying I should have a Fire Station at the bottom of my street for when bush fires hit the Blue Mountains.

You live close to nature, you roll the dice.

I am sure I heard they rejected the idea of a sea wall walkway in front of their houses.

Aren't there remnants of an ancient beach at the foot of the Blue Mountains?

Perhaps one day residents will have ocean views again.

That doesn't mean to say you should be happy about the situation.

There are shells there from huge tsunamis which are thought to sweep up to the foot of the Blue Mountains every few hundred years or so from the shifting of tectonic plates in the South Pacific.

Please explain how I could possibly comprehend if I cannot read as you spuriously and maliciously contend.

Lucas Heights is a suburb of Sydney where a row of houses sat at the top of a heavily wooded slope. Day after day the news was all about bush fires across NSW ...

... and then one day a fire swept up this hillside and destroyed all the houses there ...

... and then later in the week the news came through that most of the residents hadn't bothered to insure their homes against destruction by fire. I can still see the weeping wives on TV.

Bill Shorten says it's a woman's job to take care of their kids' care-taker arrangements, but he forgot to say it's a woman's responsibility to make sure the family home is fully insured with an insurance company ...

Women weep at home while their husbands are hard at work HOPING that their house-wife wives are taking care of filling out the insurance forms and posting them on their way to the Hairdressers and nail-trimming shops.

There is also what appears to be an ancient sandy 'beach' there strewn with crushed and broken shells.
