Georges River: After the Storms

[ambrose607]

Hi Raiders,

Went for a walk with a mate during the week along the George's River at Macquarie Fields (Simmo's Beach).

It was surprising. The amount of rubbish about 20 feet up in the trees (plastic bags, bottles, even a thong),

if anyone knows the area the steps that go down to the river the water must have came half way up them.

The walking tracks had fallen trees over them which had been cut by chainsaw to clear the path either by

council or SES. It's unimaginable how fast the water must have been raging through there as some of the

fallen trees were quite big. I now realise why cars are washed into rivers while trying to cross in storms. It's

a pity the bass season is now closed because the area looks so tranquil now. If you threw in a lure it would

probably get smashed. Just thought I'd post this so anyone living in or knows the area can go down for a

walk and have a look. There is also plenty of good size fire wood from the cut up trees.
