Growing up in the sixties, the area around Mackro and the motor park was called the floods for obvious reasons, now that the river is no longer dredged the silt is building up fast, but the same amount of water still comes up the river with every tide, eventually it will reclaim all the flood plain.
Happy memories when I was a kid, busy back then, always something to entertain me, even learned to drive there!
