Kyeemagh, Cook Park

The wind has had an interesting effect on the growth of these pines in the southern suburb of Kyeemagh. They are located along Cook Park, beside Lady Robinsons Beach on Botany Bay.

Kyeemagh creek

Muddy Creek forms the border between the suburbs of Kyeemagh and Banksia. Sydney Airport can been seen in the distance. This is one of my favourite old photos because the still waters create such a perfect reflection.

Rockdale, Bicentennial Park ponds

I was driving past Bicentennial Park at Rockdale last week and noticed that these algal blooms have covered a large proportion of the ponds here. The unusual green cover looks picturesque but I don't believe that it would be particularly good for the ponds and wildlife in the area.
