Goolwa is dying

Water is the lifeblood of Goolwa.  Once a flourishing  River Port, it's economy still depends on water. Tourists, farmers, sailors , fishers and lovers of Wooden Boats all rely on water. As the water drains away, so does Goolwa's soul, leaving a dead shell. It is ironic that the bridge in this photo appears here as  lifeless skeleton.It is a visual metaphor for "Dead in the Water";. The conflict between indigenous locals and the developers seems pointless now as the need for a bridge slowly becomes irrelevant. The Swan flees, looking for where there is life.  Soon there will be no colour at all, no water, no life: just a concrete monument to greed.
