July 2023 water challenge

[Man From Ironbark]

I do miss all the waterbirds we used to have. Egrets and spoonbills and herons bitterns and lots of ducks and swans.
There are so many demands on water by agriculture now that the rivers run dry and the waterbirds appear to have gone forever.
What cost profits? It seems insane that certain people can take the resources owned by all and become rich by starving others.

Dave, your last photo reminded me of this.

This my equivalent of water on the rocks. It is one of the most reliable creeks in our otherwise dry hills.
