Watch out for the myriad of responses to the tradegy we have been forced to watch unfold day by painful day. Hundreds of white crosses appeared on the foreshore at Clayton Bay on August 7 but this inspired “Death of a River Installation” was taken down that evening by the contactors. The floral tribute of the same day has survived.
In the last few days other symbolic representations have appeared: one huge and one smaller cross cut into the long grass of a paddock, crosses on private property, crosses at intersections and little yellow coffins floating on the black mud.
People are grieving, angry, frustrated and determined to continue the campaign for bioremediation, revegetation and keeping the river, lakes and tributaries connected.
All who share our concern for Australia’s River are invited to make their own memorials.
