Not all of city life is hustle and bustle. This is Wolli Creek, near my home. It is about 6 kms from the centre of the city. It runs through one of the last stands of bushland so close to the city. Community activists over the years have had to fight to preserve the area, and the battles continue. It's been pretty polluted, but in recent years has been recovering.

Beautiful creek! Quite a different view than what I've been taking pictures of for the last few hours! (the anti-immigration rally)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my site. I agree, I would like to see those who protest against illegal immigrants go and do the same work that the immigrants do - it won't happen.
Your photo blog is beatiful. Thanks for your comments in my blog.

Yes, Sally, i agree with both your points. In my mind the whole concept of individual responsibility needs to be accepted by EVERYBODY.. acknowledging that everything that we do DOES affect others. Yes, maybe naive, but ALL of us needs to do something personally if we are going to have a hope.I guess I'm not all that happy about Qld piping water from northern NSW...we are Ok for water in the Tweed NOW, but if the developers are allowed to keep building Surfers/Noosa lookalike resorts, we will also be in big trouble. I think a lot of it is to do with changing attitudes, and I don't think enough is being done towards that.
ReplyDeleteOoops, sorry, that was a rant!
So, my Wooli Creek stories will have to stay a secret a bit longer.
its a beautiful place.
ReplyDeletehere we need care more about the environment.

I always thought Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and your blog shows why. Now I'm discovering some different aspects, just close to it... even more interesting!

Looks beautiful. I'm always amazed to find the significant presence of nature near dense urban areas....it always seems like photo shop to see the wetlands right across the river from NYC.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a great place to go, for a bit of R&R, especially when u live in a big city.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope that efforts continue because this creek is beautiful as you present it.
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to have a small paradise so near the noisy smoggy city. Nice composition Sally thanks for the remark about those animals at my blog. It made me smile.
