As hunter water closes in on the families that remain in the bason that will be soon be underwater, the human side of the argument is comming to the head of the battle. Jim Moore  has 2 previos generations buried on the 550 acres of prime dairy farming land and has worked there all his life. The family is holding on as long as they can, not for the money but for the fact that this is a country version of the movie “the castle” which is in fact the moore’s castle and kingdom that has been built up with hard work and a love for ones land over generations. However, this didnt stop the water minister alegedly giving the moores a tingle with some advise on the best time to sell( being now of course) with a few dangles of a carrot that is being talked up and a few winks and nudges. The minister left his personal number and said Jim can call him any time if he needs anything, which seems an amusing statement for a family beeing kick out of their land where there family is buried.

This issue is definatly going grace the pages of our papers further now and in the future. stay tuned for the kingdom and don’t forget mr costa the added value those water tanks add to the property.
