rīvus Essay: Felicity Castagnaon Parramatta River

The Loop

This part of the Parramatta River where I walk is the western end, the part where it turns shallow and serpentine.

This is the river of narrow channels and mudflats and mangroves; of sex clubs and factories and unmarked burial grounds; of lunatics and God and disappearing buildings.
