Motions Creek Exploration Video


This video is a kayak journey up Motions Creek in Westmere,
Auckland during high tide on September 22 2007.
What I have discovered along this journey is that generally
on the surface all seems fine but hidden in undergrowth,
under the water and along the banks is a huge range of rubbish.
My thoughts along the way reflected on this planets concerns
with "Global Warming" and how it has dominated the global
consciousness through the media.
I am hoping that "Global Warming" does not detract from
our upkeep of the land and waterways.
During this exploration I came across some locals launching
kayaks from their back section jetty near the mouth of
the creek. They mentioned that 50 years ago this water
was crystal clear and that when the storm water overflows
it also takes sewage with it into the creek.
Hmm?? Makes you think why the council hasn't remedied this
issue.
