A sunset view of boats on the Cooks River in front of the Cooks River Bridge, in the southern suburb of Wolli Creek
This sunset over the southern suburb of Wolli Creek and reflected in the Cooks River was viewed from Kendrick Park at Tempe.
The Parramatta fishways project aims to unlock native fish migration routes that have been blocked by the weir system. By restoring natural breeding cycles, native fish populations and biodiversity will increase, and the river be rehabilitated.
The vertical fish-way enables fish to climb or descend where a weir exists. The lower gate periodically opens, allowing fish to enter or exit. The upper gate then opens and fills the lock with water, allowing fish to ascend or descend.
The beach in the southern suburb of Sandringham provides this view of two yachts sailing from Botany Bay, heading upstream on the Georges River. The Towra Point Nature Reserve is in the background.
I was lucky enough to be working up this way yesterday. Beautiful place on the Hawkesbury River on the northern most egde of Sydney.
This sunset view of the Parramatta River is from the inner west suburb of Drummoyne. The riverside suburbs seen here are Chiswick and Abbotsford on the southern side, with Henley on the northern side.
This sunset on the Parramatta River is viewed from what remains of the abutment of the first Gladesville Bridge at Howley Park in Drummoyne. The bridge replaced a ferry service that ran across the river from Abbotsford Point to Bedlam Point. It opened in 1881 and was a two lane swing span iron bridge, with a swing at this southern end that opened to allow through ferries, sailing boats and steamers with high funnels. By 1910, the electric tramway travelled across this bridge from the city to Ryde. The second Gladesville Bridge with a clearance of 30 metres was built nearby and opened in 1964.
