I was born in Murray Bridge
-
I worked in the timber mill for thirty years
-
I started photography in 1969
-
I've always liked to record things around me, especially rocks
-
This is the Mannum waterfall
-
Last five years you wouldn't have seen any water here
-
It's a stream that starts up in the Palmer Hills
-
It is not long, but can get violent and rough
-
I'm mad on rocks
-
I don't know why I'm mad on rocks
-
I've always found the Falls interesting even when there's no water
-
It's just awesome, great for photography
-
That's Nancy looking down at the rushing water
-
These photos are taken just after recent heavy rains in September 2010
-
-
The second set of pictures comes from slides in 1992
-
Christmas 1992, the heaviest rain in a long time
-
The level of water is massively higher than 2010
-
-
It's just awesome hearing the grinding of rocks being pushed downstream
-
I wonder if we'll ever see so much water ever again
