Troy and Laurel had both levels of their homely, unpretentious farmhouse flooded recently, which is very horrible. I was there in spring 2008 and the place was under drought. Troy wanted a photo with Adam Harvey because they were going on a tour together. From my place it’s up over Mt Glorious and down to Wivenhoe dam, turn left and right and right again.
The property is in amongst paddocks of flat ground and the river flows along one boundary at the bottom of a steep ravine, maybe 50 or 60 feet below. We had a coffee upstairs and watched Laurel and the kids saddle up and take off on a ride.
Adam turned up so the three of us headed out into a field of grain and looked out for Taipans.
After a while a few locals rolled up with beers, and CD’s to autograph.
I don’t want to be flippant about your house and things being underwater mate, and maybe you’ve had a chance to think the same thing, but there’ll be some music in there somewhere.
