XD351 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Hi Raiders , I was doing a bit of YouTube surfing and this video popped up and I thought it showed a lot of the river ( or what is left of it ) that many never see . What amazes me is how this once fine river still produces fish ! Edited August 5 by XD351 Spelling 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Flatty Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Thanks for sharing @XD351. The pollution is harrowing, much worse than I had ever thought, even though I knew the Cooks was one of the worst in Sydney. Like he said, the worst pollution is in places that are out of sight. I'd be curious if someone has done the same following the Parra from its upper tributaries in North West Sydney down to the heads. I'm sure that would be quite an adventure.

I first thought he was going to be talking about the parramatta river when I saw the title as I still think that it is worse for chemical pollution. Would love to see him do duck creek and haslams creek and the tributaries above parramatta dam . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in my high school days, one of my fishing mates used to spear fish around the Bondi murk. He said the place was full of fish, but he had to keep a lookout for the floating "blind mullet." He took a few fish home for eating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 An interesting video which clearly demonstrates the impact that humans have on the planet. Realistically though, we are aware of the myriad of ways that we impact nature. Not until we have a "global approach" to dealing with these issues, will we lessen the impact which our existence is having. Regarding the aside thread about the Bondi murk, here's my view. Sea creatures which we catch and eat, feed on other sea creatures in their entirety (flesh, bones, guts and waste). Indeed the water that they live in is filled with waste from other creatures. Some of our favourite foods (from waters) are the scavengers that exist to clean up all the waste (shrimps, yabbies, crabs, lobsters). Maybe we shouldn't be too critical? bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Yes bn, fish eat other fish, and fish scraps are eaten by crustacean scavengers, then the scraps eaten by sea lice, and eaten by bacteria if anything is left. In other words, eat or be eaten. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day at Malabar I wasn’t too concerned about bluebottles, it was the brownbottles that bothered me.💩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
