The South Esk River at Evandale, Launceston, Tasmania is only a few km from Launceston plus the airport is near Evandale which is about a 10 - 15 minute drive from home.
The trees are no longer there which is a great shame but then on the other hand I understand why - why, is because the river floods often therefore the flow of water along the river was interrupted. This area is a picnic area with seats, swimming and in general having fun, today not so much so.
These photos were taken in November 2006. If you click on the 'location' at the end of the post there is a map.
It does seem a pity that those lovely trees have been lost.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does Rosemary, rivers and streams should be lined with trees in my opinion.
DeleteMuito belas estas fotografias.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

ReplyDeletei felt bad about it really
water was lovely and trees added pleasure to sights ,thank you for sharing the lost beauty of Esk river !
blessings!
It's so bare now it just doesn't look the same that river Baili.
DeleteI have little doubt that removing the trees (what a travesty) interfered with the natural cycles of the river. The consequences of that will be felt sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteAlways flooded at that point in the river up to the highway so something had to be done, so alas trees had to be removed and yes it's sad.
DeleteBeautiful photos, that riverside, twith so much flow, those shadows that it casts in the water, how crystal clear they look, a beautiful place really.

Fairly clear water for river water.
