I detect that you might be a little bit touchy about the mention of water. Must be a tassie thing! Before you garrot me we have some "prime" lake real estate in Lake Macquarie that suffered badly from illegal longwall mining and over 200meters of prime lake waterfront land and house properties sunk 500mm into the lake, at low tide! They didn't pay $2500 rates for that much water views!!
