| Description : |
View looking south from the Kibby Avenue bridge along the storm water drain of the Sturt River at Glenelg North, with seagulls and water hens taking advantage of water in the drain. The Glenelg North and Glengowrie stretches of the creek were straightened and concreted during the 1960s to prevent flooding caused by stormwater runoff. Stormwater flooding had become more of a problem in the area due to increased urbanisation. |
