If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

salty rivers « Previous | |Next »
February 04, 2007

There is a lot of talk about water and climate change these days.What is not mentioned is the level of salt in the river. It is so great that it needs to pumped out of the river and stored in basin.

It is said that the salt lake at Stockyard Plain is fine and full of life. The blub says that:

Stockyard Plain is an 1870 hectare oasis for kangaroos, emus and reptiles and over 130 other species of birds. It has become a popular destination for bird watchers and environmentalists.Camping is allowed at two sites within the grounds

It looked dead to me.

I like this sort of thing..Sunrise and set especially..
Dead!! wash out your mouth...Its Beuatiful.

Les,
it is an eerie feeling standing on a man made salt lake that is seeping and slowly killing all the vegetation as it seeps back into the river.

The local farmers are not too happy as their wells are turning salty. So what do they do for water?
