Dear Morn, Dad & Grandpa,
Guess what, yesterday we had
a flood? It was really exciting. !
was home from school because
exams have started. Mrs. Hulonce
was taking a nap in the lounge (by
the way Mrs.' heart races like
Uncle Bill's does) and 1 was sitting
in the kitchen reading about 3
when I looked outside and saw
that instead of the little creek
that is supposed to be in the yard
was now a big, roaring river.
Portland House is on top of a hill
wtih a big garden and trees. 1 got
such a shock that 1 ran and woke
Mrs. up. It had been raining and
thundering for only about and
hour -- and to think that on
Tuesday it was almost like
summer.
The dam began to overflow
and it flowed right into the
cement works. This all happened
in about 15 minutes. Mr. Hulonce
said it was just like a wave coming
in down at the cement works. The
whole place was under 3-4 feet of
water in that short of time. They

Pauline Wood, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Bloomfield,
Route I, Shelton, recently
enlisted into the Women's Army
Corps, according to SSG Bob
Sharkey, U.S. Army Recruiter.
Wood left for Fort McClellan,
Alabama on September 11 to
begin basic training. Upon
completion of eight weeks basic
training, she will receive advanced
individual training at Fort
Gordon, Georgia.
Aften ten weeks of advanced
individual training, she will be
assigned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma as
a Communications Center
Specialist, for a minimum of
twelve months.
tried to put sandbags around all
the doorways but there wasn't
time. It flooded the power house,
(our lights went out because we're
on company power). The brand
new conference room that had
been completed the day before,
the kiln with the tons of cement
and bricks in them, the office
block and all of the office block
basement with records and books.
The people park their cars outside
of the works and they were
floating around the road outside
of the works. They started
floating when a bus went ripping
through the water on the road.
Mrs. and 1 didn't know this was
happening until - have to go back
a bit Mrs. and 1 were walking
around the garden looking at the
new river and we thought we
better wait at the gate for Paul
and Vicky to come home from
school so Paul went to take his
friends home - all the roads were
flooded in front of the house.
Finally Paul came hgme - I~A
hours to come home because
Lithgow was struck too? (Usually
takes 20 minutes.)Well, back to
Paul, Vicky and ! went and took
the friends home anyway and
found out the dam was
overflowing and the cement
works was flooded. Mr. Hulonce
came home and told us all about
it at 6 or so. I guess one staff man
was walking around looking at all
the damage and fell in a hole -
the man behind him did too and
one of our friends was laughing at
them because all you could see
was their hats floating away. One
of the men got out and pushed
Brian in? No one was hurt and
when Mr. came home he was
laughing about the whole flood.
Today the water has receeded. In
some of the works there was 18
feet of water. Now the dumbest
thing ! ever heard is that the
electricians have gone on strike
because it seems a labourer turned
off one of the machines that an
electrician was supposed to turn
off - we think they didn't want
to work in the muck. The unions
in Australia are really strong and
will strike on anything.
Mr. just came home and said
that we got 3~ inches of rain and
he found the rain gauge at the
bottom of one of the plants. By
the way, we have a boat and
motor and we're on high ground.
Love, Patsy
