A creek to rescue
Seven kilometres of inner city waterway flourishing with native trees, alive with wildlife and enjoyed by thousands of Brisbane residents. This is the aim of Ithaca Intact, a three year project restoring and rejuvenating Ithaca Creek.

A one in a hundred year flood, twice in 6 months
After the November 21 2008 flood, almost exactly 6 months to the day, the Enoggera catchment has again been devastated by flood. Most of the damage was the result of debris from the storms of November 18 last year, still lying strewn along the creek. At 2pm on Wednesday 22 May a SOWN member had this to say: "I'm sitting at my lounge window watching rafts of logs whizzing past. The way the creek came up had to be seen to be believed; I was watching a large log jam as the creek rose about a metre before it pushed a tree out and released the raft."
SOWN is a community organisation working to restore the habitats of creeks and waterways in the catchments of Enoggera, Ithaca and Fish Creeks in Brisbane's north and west.
