Thank you all for the lovely replies ,it certainly was a great ride and so informative on the history,the red brown colour in the river is the toxins from the mines upstream,nothing lives in the river as yet and it will be many many years before it is cleaned up,the discharges have stopped a long time ago,apparently the river used to be so red ,but nature is healing it but SLOWLY.it was a 4hr journey but so wonderful. #5809768John Connolly April 20, 2008
