Inyamaswa nyinshi zo mu gasozi zahungaga iyo zumvaga ijwi ry'umuhigi unyura mu bihuru by'icyayi. Ariko mu majyepfo ya leta, ingurube zo mu gasozi n'impongo byasaga n'aho bitatinya abo ari bo cyangwa icyo abo bantu binjiye.
Ingurube zo mu gasozi zari hafi cyane; twashoboraga kuzihumura, tukumva imiborogo yazo, ndetse rimwe na rimwe n'urusaku rw'amashami yavunitse mu mikokwe. Ariko iyo hatabaho ishusho y'ubushyuhe, kubona izi nyamaswa, zifatwa nk'udukoko, ku munsi umwe w'ubushyuhe bwinshi mu mwaka byari kuba bidashoboka.
“Hari inzira z’impala zikikije buri rugomero. Mu gihe kirekire, amatungo yari make cyane kuri ubu butaka, kandi hegitari 90 (hegitari 220) zari zumye cyane,” ibi byavuzwe n’umuhinzi wo muri Tindell, Leonard Sanders.
Mu myaka makumyabiri, urugomero ruri hafi y'uruzi rwa Queanbine ntirwari rwarakoreshejwe mu kuragira, ariko kubera amapfa akomeye, Bwana Sanders yabonye urugomero rugiye kuma, kandi igitutu ku mpongo zo mu gasozi, ingurube zo mu gasozi na kangaroo cyariyongereye.
Yagize ati: “Mu mateka, izi ngomero zari zifite amazi menshi, ariko ubu biragaragara ko zimaze kuma. Yego, twagize ibihe by'izuba, ariko ibyo byatewe nuko inyamaswa zanywaga ayo mazi.”
"Ibi bigega byagenewe kurwanya inkongi z'umuriro, gutanga amazi ku matungo, ndetse no kuhira ubutaka igihe bikenewe, ariko mu by'ukuri nta mazi arimo, ibi bikaba bigaragaza neza ingano y'amazi akoreshwa n'inyamaswa zo muri ako gace."
Bwana Sanders yavuze ko byari bigoye gusana iyo sambu no kuyibyaza umusaruro kuva aho yimukiye burundu mu mwaka urenga ushize.
Yagize ati: “Kubera ko impala nyinshi n’ingagi zirisha mu mirima, nta byatsi bisigaye. Kandi igihe cyose haguye imvura nyinshi, ingurube zo mu gasozi ziraza zikangiza ubutaka.”
"Ntidushobora kugarura ubutaka ku buzima. Iyo usohotse ukabona amaso 30 areba ubwatsi, uba ushaka kuburuhukira, ariko ntibishoboka."
Kubera ko inka eshatu za Galloway n'ikimasa kimwe gusa biri ku butaka bwa hegitari zisaga 90, gutegura ubwatsi bwari kuzarimburwa vuba n'udukoko byari ikibazo gikomeye.
Bwana Sanders yagize ati: “Ubuhinzi buvugurura ibidukikije bushingiye cyane ku buriri busimburana, ariko amahirwe menshi ni make. Iyo ushyize inka mu rwuri, hanyuma kangaroo, impongo, n'ingurube zo mu gasozi ziturutse impande zose z'akarere zikaza kuzirya, ntabwo ari ugupfusha ubusa imbaraga?”
"Ubutaka bwose burumbuka bwarasenyutse, kandi ubu burimbuzi bwose buturuka ahantu hamwe - mu gace karinzwe na leta."
Bwana Sanders yavuze ko ingamba zo kugenzura mu gace k’abaturanyi, kagenzurwa na Pariki z’Igihugu n’Inyamaswa zo muri NSW, ari nkeya, aho indege zica abantu rimwe mu mwaka kandi gahunda zo gukoresha ibyambo zidakunze kugaragara.
Yagize ati: “Mu by’ukuri bakeneye kugisha inama ba nyir’ubutaka, ariko pariki z’igihugu ntizikora ibyo. Bakora ibintu uko babyifuza kandi ntibita ku bandi.”
"Byakemuye ikibazo muri ako gace gato gusa, ariko ntibyakemuye ikibazo cyakwirakwiriye ahandi. Sinzi igisubizo."
Bwana Sanders yavuze ko ingaruka zijyanye no kuzana abahigi ku giti cyabo zizarushaho kwiyongera, kuva ku bibazo by’uburiganya kugeza ku bibazo by’umutekano mu turere tunini tw’ubutaka bunini.
Yagize ati: “Buri wese arashaka gukemura ikibazo, ariko ugomba kwitonda cyane ku bo usaba ubufasha.”
"Uha umuntu umwe kwinjira, hanyuma agasohokana n'inshuti ze, n'inshuti z'inshuti ze zikasohokana na we. Mu buryo butunguranye, abantu benshi cyane barasohoka."
Abahigi, barimo abahigi b’inkoho n’imbunda n’imbwa zihiga, bagaragaye muri pariki y’igihugu. Bamwe mu bahigi bagiye bambuka imihanda rusange bakajya kurasa mu nzuri z’abikorera ku giti cyabo.
Bwana Sanders yagize ati: “Ikibazo ni uko dukunze kumva amasasu aturuka ahantu runaka ariko ntitumenye aho aturuka.”
"Byose ni igice cyo gucunga inyamaswa zo mu gasozi. Iyo leta ikorana neza, abantu ntibari kwemera ko aba bahigi ku giti cyabo bajya guhiga kenshi, kuko ikibazo, muri rusange, cyashoboraga gukemurwa."
