I would love a permanent creek on our property, but I suppose we have our gully that floods in the wet season, instead. It was so dry over the autumn/winter period though, the water is just sinking into the ground.

So good there is a lot of work being done on weed control. We have a lot of clearing out in our creek we will need to be doing once we move. We will need to find native grasses to support the bank in some areas as we do I suspect. <br /><br />XxEmma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625835970797307834.post-21161921972504472552018-10-20T06:23:37.865+10:002018-10-20T06:23:37.865+10:00What a lovely space, you are lucky to live near it...What a lovely space, you are lucky to live near it.
