Ginninderra Creek

Ginninderra Creek is a small creek which eventually finds it way into the Murrumbidgee River. With civilization, it became a fairly marginal creek but in the last decade or so, the government has taken remedial measures.

 

The most important of these has been the removal of thousands of willow trees and the construction of run off traps in the feed gullies. There is also a positive reaction to potential pollution as indicated in the photo below.

Fortunantely very little oil had spilt into the creek.

It looks like the car had hit some black ice and careered down the embankment into the water. Judging by what I saw, the occupants must have been rescued by smashing in the front screen.

And I thought I was safe on bicycle paths!
