DEAR News Of The Area,

I SEE in the edition of Friday October 28, another indication that people think they can do a better job of controlling all the land, rivers, creeks, and creatures of nature than Mother Nature herself.

I’ve been in the Nambucca Valley for over 74 years, and Mother Nature has been looking after all her responsibilities quite well, without our assistance, but we can cause trouble.

One example is that we build bridges over the creeks rivers, but we don’t build them high
enough.

When the rains come they cause obstructions in the flooding waters.

There are too many to list at this point.

I see Beverly Gibbs has pointed out that we collect all our sewerage and channel it to one inappropriate place, so when the rains come we have a spill into the river.

Then Beverly goes on to say we should do more.

If we are to do more, let’s get some intelligence about us first.

Mother Nature is going to change the climate to whatever she wants, and if we interfere, I am sure we will do something like building the bridges too low.

Sincerely yours,
Jon C DALEY,
Nambucca Heads.
