Prompt for
2. What could you do to improve your finances in the future? I’m pretty limited to make much of a difference in my finances now I’m retired and on a fixed income. I’m too old to work at any sort of manual job and my computer skills wouldn’t cut it for any sort of office work, so unless I have a windfall, such as a lottery win, I’m pretty well stuffed. I could enter more competitions with my writing, but they are really hard to win. I’m too lazy to write a novel. I have no relatives left who are likely to die and leave me money or property. I could perhaps rob a bank? No, too dangerous and it takes an idiot to think they could get away with a bank robbery, anyway. I could take a massive risk with what little money we do have and invest it in some crazy scheme, but I’m not brave or foolhardy enough to do that. I could have a garage sale and sell all the junk my husband has collected over the years, but I’d have to do it when he wasn’t looking. I think Ive exhausted all the options available to me, and it appears my finances aren’t going to get much of a boost anytime soon. |

My town could be called quirky if only for the fact of it being sliced in two by a major Highway. Little Mundaring in the hills of Perth Western Australia has an interesting history. The Great Eastern Highway is the main Highway linking the West to the East of Australia. Everything that come in by road makes its way eventually through our town. People ask “which side do you live on?” Obviously I always answer, “The best side, of course!” Mundaring wasn’t founded until 1903 when the Mundaring pipe line project was completed. It was built to take water from Mundaring to the goldfields in Kalgoorlie, 700 kilometres away. The man who came up with this idea was a brilliant engineer name CY O’Connor. His was an amazing but sad story. This project was deemed impossible at the time and the engineer was subject to prolonged criticism, such as this article from the Western Australian newspaper at the time. And apart from any distinct charge of corruption this man has exhibited such gross blundering or something worse, in his management of great public works it is no exaggeration to say that he has robbed the taxpayer of this state of many millions of money ... This crocodile imposter has been backed up in all his reckless extravagant juggling with public funds, in all his nefarious machinations behind the scenes by the kindred-souled editor of The West Australian. —(Evans 2001:219) CY O’Connor rode his horse to the ocean and shot himself in the head just before the water project was proved to be a success, which it was when the first gush of water entered the Goldfields. His suicide note reads: I feel that my brain is suffering and I am in great fear of what effect all this worry may have upon me — I have lost control of my thoughts." Robert Drew’s novel, The Drowner, provides a fictional account of this man and the building of the pipeline.  |
