A quick walk through Curtin

What do you do when you accidentally engaged a troll on twitter? You go for a walk of course.

I didn't realize there had been a flash flood in Canberra in 1971 that killed seven people, probably because I wasn't born then. However, when I ask people who were around then, they don't remember without prompting either, which I think is sad. I only learnt about the flood because of the geocache I found hidden at the (not very well advertised) memorial today.

       

Interactive map for this route.
