Munmorrah Circuit Duck Pond – After the Big Wet

On the 14th March I went to the Munmorrah Circuit Duck Pond and saw a sea of algae in the pond (posted here). At the time I was calling for council to intervene and flush the lake to cleanse it of the algae, which was frankly less than attractive. Council of course have not had time to spin the lollipop from stop to slow in a week, thankfully Mother Nature has intervened with a monumentally wet weekend culminating in yesterdays 279mm in 24 hours at Albion Park. Unfortunately a man has been killed in this weather event and a lot of people have been impacted by car breakdown, being plain stupid, or CityRail equipment failures (which I do not blame them for).

The duck pond now looks like a pond, however the walk ways around it are caked in mud and reeds are everywhere. Check out the picks in the slideshow below.
