On Thursday the 9th of July

Dear Sir/Madam,

at 5:10pm this afternoon I saw a fluorescent green creek running from 33°45'37.74"S, 150°59'21.21"E, End of Conie Avenue, Baulkham Hills, NSW, 2153. The strongest smell ( of fuel) was at the drain point on the attached picture. Upstream of this point was clean water.

I have no feedback as to what came of this event other than being told that they would investigate. Ofcourse the filthy pigs that dumped these fluids in the creek chose a period of heavy rainfall.
My biggest concern is that this minor creek feeds into Toongabie Creek which then feeds into Parramatta River which then goes into Sydney Harbour. We have/had a healthy amount of frogs, eels, lizards and ducks along this stretch alone.

All is quiet now.

Pigs.

a quote by Chuck Swindoll about attitude:

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

They were fun but ultimately not used as much as I thought they would be.
