Yes, it was called River Townsend. In the early days of settlement, people and horses were washed away to their death on elizabeth st, even after only moderate rains. It's nice to see the old river running again as nature intended!
Funny you should mention this intersection was an Old "Creek Bed". I have a panoramic pic of this intersection, above my comp. Dated 1903. In small print underneath it says..."It is hard to believe that only thirty years earlier, this intersection had been part of a natural river which ran along Elizabeth st, which swept people and animals alike downstearm in times of flood" We were in country Victoria (Alexandra) today. Alot of rain around 6.30pm, but nothing like this!!

Rain on your wedding day is meant to bring good luck, I am guessing that couple can expect MANY happy years of marriage! x
