If you read our piece about new year's eve 2010 you'll know one of our favourite ways to spend a summer evening is with a swim in the South Esk River at the Cataract Gorge just a few minutes from our home.

It's a great spot for a dip with lovely little waterfalls, some fun currents to swim with and against, and plenty of big rocks to do bombs off!

Well, the South Esk catchment has had a bit of rain lately and as you can see from the pictures I took this afternoon it's probably not a great idea to swim there until after the river drops a bit!
