The Death of a River Installation: The day began with the appearance of several hundred white crosses on the foreshore at Clayton Bay, just in front of the advancing dam/regulator. A memorial of flowers on the cliff above evoked other people’s memorials.

Democracy at work: At ten o’clock, supporters of the two trespassers gathered at the Victor Harbor Courthouse. Ruth and Silver were both able to explain to the court their actions as ones they believed were necessary. No conviction was recorded and costs were waived for both. Celebrations followed.
Monitoring at dusk: Work on the dam/regulator at Currency Creek has resumed and while taking readings of water quality upstream of the construction, the state of the work was observed.
The crosses at Clayton were removed but others have been sighted at other locations.
