[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 181239, member: 147"] No excuse for some of the antics displayed out there in the public area, but that google image of 08 has nothing to do with what it looked like since the floods as Heatho explained. I've prospected that creek for 50 years, and the day after the first flood the creek was completely unrecognizable. I was there a couple of days after the first flood, which washed a caravan on Owens property, 50 feet up the bank, into the creek. The creek for the first 400m upstream from the bridge was only about 2m wide with grassy banks to the creek edge. After that first flood the banks were completely stripped and all those boulders you see now were exposed. The creek bed went from 2m wide to15m wide in a period of just 3 days...and that was only the first flood. Owens' a patient man, but if the creek isn't looked after I can guarantee his patience will run thin. Some common sense in where, and how, you dig is what is required and your rubbish taken home and not dumped is all that is required, and... "DON'T"... dig around the bridge pylons like some imbeciles do. One rotten apple is all that's required to spoil the whole basket. [/QUOTE]
