Muddy mix

My partner Jo and I go for walks along a nearby water channel

The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area has many of these and the gravity-fed system is an engineering marvel.

Recently they've been enclosing some channels with pipes, which has led to our local channel dropping to a trickle.

Many birds seem to be enjoying the opportunity to fossick in the mud, also some humans too.

There are many sunken treasures, particularly witches hats and bits of metal.

I had passed a strangely shaped object a couple of times, thinking it was a dumped toolbox before I recognised the XLR connections and realised it's a wedge-shaped speaker box.

When I share this photo my friends commented that it's "monitoring the water level" and offers "sub bass"!
