I had read early today that a body was found in the Yarra at Abbots­ford but hadn’t really put two and two together. The ABC news just told me it was found at Dight’s Falls. That’s right near me. In fact, that’s where I walked to only last night for my after-dinner walk, along the peace­ful creek track and sat at that exact spot calmly watch­ing the sun set.

It was a woman, with a back­pack, weighed down with stones. Found by two sci­ent­ists. Not there this morn­ing. That’s some­what com­fort­ing: at least I didn’t sit there obli­vi­ous to her last night with Amy.
