About right.
My townhouse is 2.7m then the slab then another 2.7m then the roof. So yeah about 6m.

Sounds about right or if you want to be more accurate it’s 6 one meter gummy sharks high. 😁

Thankfully I never get seasick, I've had eight trips several that were very rough, felt sorry for a lot of people that were seasick..
When I lived in Sth Aust I used to travel via the Sealink freight Ferry once a month, a lot of those trips the waves were in the four metre range, it that was much smaller than the Tassies ships. It's only 11 kilomtre crossing Back Stairs Passage, but there was a lot of people who were glad when it arrived at Penneshaw..Even the Captain used to get crook on it.. Check out the four minute video from back in 2013, it was a rough day but I've seen and been on it when it worse than the video..

Oh dear. Though it's not very far, I won't get on board in that kinda weather.
I'm one of those unlucky person to easily get seasick.

Love Kangaroo Island, our passage was calm.
We went to an evening session with rangers, coming home in the dark I couldn't get over 20kpm because of all the wildlife
