Photograph hanging on the wall of the cafe formerly owned and operated by Archie Kapsanis, Warren, NSW.

The photograph depicts one of many floods that occurred in Warren during the 20th century.

You can see how high the flood waters came.

Archie's was not the only Kytherian shop effected. Two shops to the left of Archie's, my father's brother, Panayoti (Peter) Hlihlis (Tzortzo)Poulos ran a fruit shop.

Until his early demise, Peter was the most charismatic and civic minded member of the Warren community.

Later my maternal uncle, Manuel Belos Coroneos would purchase the shop, and the fruit and vegetable farm which came with it, and operate it for many years.

The theme of Floods and their impact on Kytherians in Australia, is one that has not even begun to be explored at this stage of the development of kythera-family.net. Yet most Kytherians I have ever met can relate a plethora of flood stories - when asked to recall past events in their working lives.

Are you a Kytherian with a flood story?

Tell us about it?
