Piles of rubbish - pity the people who built it couldn't keep it tidy or clean it upo when no longer needed. Picnic table on river flats is nice, though may not last a really big flood.

Lots of rubbish to clear up, but the Picnic table has been moved out onto the flat & makes a great spot to stop for lunch.

Yeah needs cleaning up and removing. Might start taking a bag or two of junk out whenever I go past
