It's a cloudy day so the eagles have come down closer to the river to find dinner. I love to watch them fly. They are so majestic. If they are close enough, I can hear the displacement of the air as they fly by. They bring me great joy. They are beautiful. So much strength and grace. They are huge. I've seen eagles with a 5-6 foot wing span. Incredible!! 😊😍💜❤️💜

Those were the days...

4th December, 1897.

“Cook’s River is alive with crabs and flathead. Messrs. T. Slade and J. Serbutt, on Friday afternoon, caught 29 large flathead and 7 crabs drifting in the river, and other reports are equally gratifying."

(An excerpt from the '19th Century Cook's River Calendar: Newspaper accounts of events in the area')

Also of interest is the original name of the Cooks RIver:

"Goolay’yari The Pelican"

Cooks River is called the River of Goolay’yari, The Pelican Dreaming Story.

It is part of the creation story of north and west of Sydney.

“The Pelican was a man who abandoned his family, thus placing them in great danger, and as punishment, he was banned from the Land of the Beginning. As he stepped across the river, he left his footprint, (the small island near the rail bridge at Tempe —which once formed the shape of a Pelican footprint). When he stepped onto the northern side of the river he became a man, Baiame, and began to create the landscape north and west of the Land of the Beginning . There are many stories of the great deeds that Baiame has done in the landscape that he created, but none tell of him ever returning to the Land of the Beginning. Perhaps, one day, he may use the Island of the Pelican to return to his Beginning as we all must do.”
