Weed Removal

And now to shatter the illusion...

Apart from the somewhat abundant birdlife, and despite the best advice of my former employer, it seems that Forest 'Lake' is starting to look like the sediment and nutrient basin that it was designed as. Although Delfin like to market the waterfront living opportunities, the fact of the matter is that the Lake is basically a big pond to collect sediment and other run-off from the development site. With all those new homeowners fertilizing their lawns over the years, the nutrient loads in the lake have lead to quite an aquatic weed problem.

• That’s a very purposeful piece of kit there . . I like the tight crop which increases the Waterworld effect!

• Same problem in Lake Macquarie...everyones lawn fertilizer runoff results in explosion of weed in the lake, silk captures in the weed, lake all of a sudden only 6 inches deep. Just being people we are environmental vandals.
  
  Rocking shot though, like his feet up relaxed pose in a machine I have never seen before.
