The 28th of November was a wet day in Sydney. Wet days are good days to photograph waterfalls and creeks. However too much rain can cause a lot of difficulties – wet camera, water droplets and condensation on the lens, flooded creeks etc. I had been watching the weather radar and the rain seemed to be easing off in the afternoon. So I thought a quick visit to Flat Rock Creek at Naremburn could be worthwhile.
I caught a train to Artarmon and then started walking down the path towards Flat Rock Creek. The walking path was quite wet, and further down, where it joins a cycleway – there was a lot of debris over the path and also a few fallen trees. It looked like a few hours earlier – the water levels would have been quite amazing judging by where the debris was.
I had visited Flat Rock Creek not long before, and knew the spot I wanted to photograph. I soon arrived at the waterfall. The flow was certainly quite nice, but there was some rubbish in the stream – some plastic boxes and their lids floated down while I was setting up my camera and tripod.
Here is the creek, a little way downstream –
This is quite a beautiful spot. it will be a shame if it is wrecked by motorway development.
