Jane Hunt's story of The Dam

Dural, NSW, 21 June 2007

I grew up in a semi rural area about 40 kilometres North West of Sydney. The most obvious change I have noticed over the last few years is the disappearance of the backyard dam. When I was growing up, it was full of water. My friends and I used to build bridges and try to walk across the dam without falling in. Now it is almost completely dry. We also used to visit a small creek and waterfall in the bushland not far from my house. That too, has dried up.
