Most people associate the Baakens River only with the 3rd Avenue Dip and the narrow canal the flows into the harbour along Valley Road and don’t always think what it looks like in-between. During its meandering flow along the Baakens Valley it passes through Dodds Farm and Settlers Park, amongst others. This section is just above a weir at Dodds Farm and forms a nice little dam which is ideal to attract birds.
I love this area! I suppose that is one of my major reasons for loving trail running. I get to run through here regularly.
Beautiful image, I can just imagine all the bird life! Have a great weekend. Jo
Very pretty upstream from where we saw it.
We've heard so much about Dodd's farm recently, but who was this Mr Dodd who farmed here?
