Episode Synopsis
Abused, Ignored and avoided were apt descriptions of the Cooks River over the years from 1788 to the mid 1970’s.It started as a Arcadian Wonderland, but industrial, chemical and plastic pollution, together with urbanisation, almost destroyed it.But the river won through and now has a delightful pathway following it for most of its course.A delightful spot to amble!
