South Esk River Part 2

Down by the South Esk River at Evandale near the Launceston Airport.  This is the picnic area with trees,m they too have now been cut down..  I have been hunting in my photos and came across photos I took a couple of years ago with the trees gone by the River which I will post next post.

    1. There is a path there now but trees are gone, just one or two remaining and many people take their dogs for a job or walk along by the river.

    1. Thanks Sandi. Left a comment on your bog as I have no idea why you are scared because I'm in Australia.

    2. Oh! Ha ha. Sorry! 😂

      I meant I am scared in these photos because it's Australia and out in nature are all kinds of Australian critters...crocodiles, giant spiders, snaaaakes...yikes. Just trying to be funny!

    3. Oh ok..lol.
      No crocodiles down here it’s too cold for them, they like the hear as in the tropics…no bad spiders in the river or snakes :)

  5. Наверное, деревья пришли в негодность?
    Или кому-то просто место понадобилось?

    1. Trees you all safe and sound, it's just when the river rises in floods the water is better able to keep going through the river freely, where was if the trees were there it stops the flow.
      It doesn't necessarily have to rain a lot in the Evandale area, if it rains a lot in other areas the other rivers/creeks flow into the South Esk.
      There is a highway that goes very close to the river plus there are a few house further up that look over the river and it can cause some concern to those people in those houses as the water can come up to their doors, so that's why the trees were removed to stop all of that flooding, it helps.

    2. Странно, у нас наоборот высаживают деревья по берегам рек, чтобы берега не размывало.

    3. You are right but in this case the water couldn't flow :)

  9. That is a good picnic place besides that big tree. So sad that the tree is no longer there. Nice reflection on the river, looks like a nice cool place.

  10. It was... The saddest words of getting older. They cross my mind way too often.

  11. What a shame those lovely trees have gone. Over here they remove lovely trees that are no cause for concern and won't remove ones that are clearly dangerous. We had a friend that was killed by a branch falling off a large eucalypt, really sad. Thanks for showing us the lovely photos.

    1. You are welcome Rosie.
      It certainly is a shame and similar happens here with trees.
      So sorry re your friend, not a very nice thing to happen.

  12. What is it with this fetish for removing trees? Has no one heard of their intrinsic value, shade, wildlife habitat, carbon storage?

    1. Yes they have heard of all of those things David, but someone obviously thought they knew better about the trees and water - so puff, they went.

  13. A good place to visit... no crowds, no noise...

  14. Beautiful and fresh place, it's a shame they cut down the trees, was it really necessary?

    1. I've been out to look when it's flooded and of course the water flows easier than it once did, then again it depends on how much water comes down that river..to me it wasn't necessary but to many it was obviously.
