Pafisho08 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 HI Leo Google Maps golf courses near you as some have ponds and small creeks which hold string weed Only check them out late in the day when golfers are gone . Regds Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smobaby Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Try the creeks at Homebush Olympic park area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD351 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Try google earth , I find it better than the maps . On the north side of the river try westward of the meadow bank rail bridge - Melrose park , behind Ryde/ parramatta golf course . There are also canals around the Canada Bay Area on the south side of the river and at Rhodes next to Homebush bay drive- access is via Australia ave . Might be worth looking around up the lane cove river , I have never done this so can’t say if there would be weed there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
