Waterworks Under Water
On Thursday, 9 December Goulburn had its wettest December day since 1971 resulting in the dramatic rise and speed of the Wollondilly River. By 7pm the Waterworks picnic and playground were literally under water and Marsden Weir could not longer be seen. By the following morning the river had subsided and the damage to the area could be seen. Trees were uprooted, gardens once tenderly cared for were now just a pile of mud and mangled fauna. Even a picnic table and awning was turned on its side concrete slab and all!
The saddest news was that we lost 'Thomas' our very popular blue train. He was spotted by several locals floating down the Wollondilly River and it is believed he made it all the way to Towrang. Good news was that today the ducks and their 11 babies returned to the now calm waters of the river. The grounds will reopen to the public, with limited access, on Saturday 18 December 2010. Photos coming soon.
