April 2011

April 2011

The bridge at top dam was destroyed after a huge storm. Logs floating in the dam were swept over the wall and crashed into the bridge

                                                
The workers set to cleaning up the mess


A few hours later a smaller but serviceable bridge was in place.

These plants were hanging over the spillway


And a short time later it had all been cleaned up


We moved along the wall to the unruly bamboo


And that too was removed


The piles of logs lying in the river and grass were moved to one place


They were heavy!


But the guys never complained


The last task was to remove the tree that was blocking the path  on the dam wall


10 minutes with a chain saw.......


All gone!!




Autumn leaves in Delta Park




Enjoy the Park, it's looking lovely at the moment with it's autumn finery!

  3. I challenge every cyclist,dog walker or person who enjoys the park to help Shirley by doing their little bit in keeping the park clean and tidy.
    (Including picking up your dog's pooh and other rubbish)
    Many, many thanks Shirley.

  4. thank you for all your hard work, Shirley. It is a pleasure to experience Delta. For anyone who is interested, I have started a Facebook group for Delta Park lovers to share their experiences, comments etc Perhaps it could also be a place to galvanise support for future clean-ups etc

    I have spoken to ADT about the homeless people sleeping in the public toilets near the Environmental Centre and they seem to have addressed the issue.

    See 'Delta Park, Joburg' on FB

    Cheers,
    Sarah
