FROM THE BACK RUN HILLS I RUN

SIMPLY I FOUND SENSATIONS OF BEING

THE RIVER UNITED BY SKY, RUNNING

UNDER GRASS & ONLY 6 INCHES WIDE

& BECOMING WIDE ENOUGH THAT

LARGER TREES ARE MERELY FRILL AT

MY SHORES – THE SAME WATERS

REFLECTING & ALL FROM A LOT OF

SINGLE DRIPLETS & SO THE LARGE

PAINTED DRIPLET CARRIES THE

BERTHING OF THE RIVER – THE

3

SOURCE & THE ESTUARY SIMPLY ALPHA

OMEGA ONE NO MORE DESERVING OF

THE OTHER EXCEPT THE ESTUARY

CARRIES THE MANY ALPHAS THAT JOIN

THE FLOW FROM THE SHORES ,

TRICKLES & RAINS ALL THE WAY

ALONG.

FROM THE BACK RUN HILLS I RUN THE

26KM SOUTH WEST TO OUR ESTUARY.

A WINDING EMBRACE WITH KELLEVIE

ROAD I MAKE CLIFFORD SUGARLOAF

VICINITY TO BE JOINED BY HOSPITAL

CREEK & BY MOTHER BROWNS BONNET

TO BE JOINED BY NELSONS RIVULET

RIGHT NEAR WHERE I GO UNDER

ARTHUR HIGHWAY NEAR CASTLES HILL

JOINED AGAIN BY ANOTHER FLOW,

TANNER CREEK, ROUND WE ALL GO

BETWEEN PICKETY & STEELES & BY

COPPING TIP – IS IT A TOXIC TASTE -

& BEDDING HILL & IN THE COMPANY OF

LOVELY BOTTOM WE PASS WHERE WE

ARE JOINED BY A NAMELESS TRICKLE

THAT JOINS ALL OF US DRIPLETS THAT

COME OFF ALL SHORES, FATTENING

UNDER SUGAR LOAF ROAD WE ARE

JOINED BY CHASSEYS CREEK & ON PAST

PRIMROSE SANDS’ BACK YARD WE SLIP

BY & AROUND STEELES ISLAND - HERE

TASTING SALT & FOAMIC IONS WITH

FISHER BAIT - WE EMBRACE CARLTON

BLUFF TOGETHER WITH CARLTON

BEACH AND NO LONGER A RIVER ARE

WE – EXCEPT WHERE WE STILL RUN

BEHIND.

“THE CARLTON RIVER IS HOME TO A

LARGE POPULATION OF BROWN TROUT,

THEY CAN BE FOUND WELL PAST

KELLEVIE IN THE LARGER POOLS IN THE

RIVER. I HAVE ALSO SEEN SEVERAL

BURROWING CRAYFISH(YABBIES), THEY

HAVE MEASURED 50MM TO 300MM IN

SIZE I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE

NATIVE OR INTRODUCED , THE BIG

ONES ARE BRIGHT BLUE IN COLOUR

AND QUITE PRETTY. I NEVER TOOK ANY

OF THESE FOR FOOD BECAUSE I

BELIEVE THEY MIGHT BE RARE. “ SAYS

A LOCAL

Let it leach for decade after decade …… no.

Let us just wait and see if it leaches …. no.

5

Toxic tax on the fish …. No. Just a little bit … no

6

All clean at the end.

Don’t allow the waste to be manufactured if it can’t be

disposed of. That which we are stuck with should not be

used to establish an ongoing dump.

Please help.

All good things.
