Flood sightseers a blight

-

Since the last recent floods in Seymour, I have never seen so many four-wheel drives in my life.

And guess what some of them were doing?

Ignoring and bypassing all the roadblock signs, sightseein­g and taking photos. Some of them with entire families, driving through the deep waters without any good reason to be there, creating a wake like a boat, with waves lashing and destroying Colorbond fencing and causing untold structural damage to who knows what, adding to the worry of those already suffering, some of whom had already been evacuated.

It’s a criminal act and you ought to be held accountabl­e.

— William Hogan, Seymour
