The Tamar Estuary is salty and tidal and flows 70 kilometres inland from Bass Straight into the North and South Esk Rivers in Launceston, which is located on a floodplain.
I'm interested in the build up of silt at the confluence of these 3 waterways. (Which poses ongoing challenges to the city of Launceston, particularly at times of flood.)
The cottage is just minutes away form the Tamar and I can smell the salt from here.
I walked along the foreshore in the teaming rain late this afternoon, it's so daggy and undeveloped, it's wonderful and I love the silt.
The sun broke through just before twilight and the South Esk River and the Tamar were soft pink reflecting the winter sunset. I didn't have my camera because of the rain - -
