I have set a goal to clear to the end of the creek before it runs under the road and away. This is so all rubbish can be cleared, trees and weeds removed and waterways unclogged before the next rains due in a couple of months. It took ages to get any headway initially, but once a path was cleared to the creek, things started to flow, so to speak. In this little patch is my favorite waterfall, and have been itching to get to this bit to get the rubbish out. Well I was in for an interesting surprise.
Neither of these foreign objects are going anywhere! Look how the tree roots have completely embraced that tyre. It will now be there forever. And the bit of tin crushed and molded to form the lip of the waterfall is now part of the landscape. To try and remove it would require heavy machinery...
Here is the full waterfall (before shot), the main flow is off to the left. As you can it was in a terrible state, and the amount of rubbish dumped along here is staggering. There is still a way to go, and no shortage of weed to battle. We even had Jim in to spray everything early this morning, so this should make blackberry clearing easier... More to come!
It was also a good day for the chainsaw and the slasher. More piles of burnables followed soon after...
