This used to be my favourite jetty up until I came back from Jo'burg in January and found it looking like this! Now I daren't step foot on it, although I notice the fishermen still seem to use it.
A pall of smoke is hanging over the entire area due to serious veld fires in the region. It has been so very hot and dry lately that the bush is like tinder, and I think the awful wind we had yesterday didn't help with getting fires under control.
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana. Yes the heat is quite unbearable at the moment - which is why I start walking the dogs as soon as it starts getting light, before sunrise, so by the time we have been out for an hour it is not too hot by the time we get home again
@anniesue Yes it sure is different! But yet if it collapses completely one will not only land up in the drink but may also be hurt in the fall @narayani yeah I am not taking any chances
@sunnygirl Thank you very much @koalagardens yikes indeed @jeremyccc Thank you @walksnaplove Thank you. I am not sure that it will be fixed. This jetty is public - it belongs to Department of Fisheries I think but I don't think they have the staffing or the funds to keep up with everything? I hope I'm wrong
