Puta dam in upstream I say, use the captured fresh water to help water shortage and allow ocean species to more frequently turn up and make habitat in the swan, hell yeah!

If they dammed the swan and put it in perths drinking water we would end up with three tits and no eyes thanks to the vineyard runoff.

Crays in the river

Thu, 2012-08-23 04:39

Back maybe 7-10 years ago when I dived Blackwall twice a week for prawns and crabs I saw crays on a handfull of night dives, never size and only ever one or two at a time

Funny to see that Black bream

Funny to see that Black bream at Freshwater Bay was a rare occurence and more "mystifying" than the crayfish!! Now it's one of the more well known spots for big bream.

Really Shows how the salt content of the swan has changed drastically since it became an open system.
