You swam in the Yarra??????????????

Once even at Princes Bridge...I got thrown in there for losing a rowing race.

Above the falls at Richmond it was always pretty clean then.,

Only joking, the Torrens in Adelaide is certainly no shining example of pristine waters.

Years back the police were accused of drowning a prominent Adelaide homosexual in it but I personally believe the water poisoned him.

It is always a pleasure to pass these lovely rocky outcroppings on my way home, especially when the sun is low in the sky. Sadly they are rapidly disappearing. Ironically the dirt track out through the rice fields was in very good shape despite the recent flooding. The trail had been covered with a fortifying layer of gravel, probably from the same beautiful features in the area.

I thought is was so salt that people could not sink in it like the Dead Sea.

I lived in Heidelberg and the water there could be drank in my day. I notice where I used to swim is now a National Park or something.

my father took me gold panning in the yarra!! water was so clean near Warrandyte and you could find gold , only specks but it was fun

[villagefarang]

There were half a dozen guys with their line in the water but I saw no more than four small fish in any one bucket. Still they were smiling and seemed to be having a good time.

Beautiful and dramatic sunset this evening.

[sceadugenga]

Exceptional.

[villagefarang]

Crazy clouds as the storm approached as well.

[villagefarang]

Another crazy sky tonight.

[villagefarang]

After the storm there came an amazing light.

Here is a little something from yesterday.

That is very interesting. I actually posted this one as an afterthought. I thought it might be too cluttered and flat, because of the cloud cover, but it is getting a fairly good response on Google+, as well. I ride past this area on one of my regular bike routes.

This trail heads past Jubby’s and much of the area was under water recently. They are replanting all the rice fields through this section. I was worried about the trail but needn’t have been and it ended up being a great ride and the sun even came out mid afternoon, after being cloudy in the morning.
