Claire,
Thanks again for all the great blogs, as always.
This post reminded me of a recent township relocation in Queensland, and the most famous one in Australiaâs history, the township of Gundagai, whose inhabitants just up and shifted away from the river plain, way back in the mid-1800s.
Hereâs a story about it.
