Pictures of the East Barham river walk on 15th December

On Saturday a small group gathered to walk the East Barham river from Marriners Falls to the confluence with Otway stream expert Greg Peters. For those who could not make it, here are a few pictures of the river walk. It took about 6 hours - (Mobile phone photos by Simon Pockley).

There was plenty of evidence of the recent flood with some of the path to the falls washed away and large deposits of silt and gravel.
