The 'pale-eucalypt' green Colorbond shed of the Coopernook Rural Fire Brigade has a small, rusted, white rectangular piece of sheet metal pop riveted to front right and left of the shed, with a scored horizontal line for the High Level Mark of the 2021 flood, that caused a bit chaos in the lower Manning Valley, but no deaths. The mark is about 700mm up from the concrete pad at the front.

[I remember the occasion well, as I was well marooned, and couldn't get out of Tinonee, but rather spent 8 hours in my plastic kayak retrieving personal property for others, including x 8 44 gallon drums, a dozen wheely bins, a huge fake rock, and a 4m long horse trough.]

A picture showing the level along with any markers telling of what had occurred can be used. Better yet would be a picture of you or someone standing next to the high level mark, that would show if you would have been just wading or completely submersed.
