Rubbish, dead fish and debris clog up Adelaide’s River Torrens after major rainfall
Rubbish and dead fish are being cleared from Adelaide’s River Torrens after a deluge swept debris into the waterway late last month.
Key points:
- Rubbish was sent through the system after major rainfall
- Authorities believe the rain caused carp and catfish deaths
- Adelaide’s festival season kicks off later this month
Tonnes of waste was sent down the river — which runs from the Adelaide Hills, through the CBD and out to sea — after Adelaide’s wettest January day since 1977.
ABC Radio Adelaide roving reporter Spence Denny said the rainfall, which helped douse the Cherry Gardens bushfire, had caused a stink along the waterway as far north as Angle Vale.
