Having a few moments to spare, I decided to drive through
the Colonial National Park today. This
photograph was taken at the dam that goes over Wormley Creek. Supposedly there was a dam at that location
in the 1700s and it featured in the Independence war. Just an idyllic picture and a nice place to
visit by car, bike, or foot.
There was a biked who appeared to be feeding the swans. As I said idyllic, were it not that swans are
in invasive species in our area and push out a lot of the native water birds. Being a darn biologist, I can not look at these swans just for their beauty, but I always have to bring in mind that they are out of their place. Kind of a shame that these elegant, stately
birds are actually a pest.
