Waterhole shaded by River Red Gums - Southern Queensland, Australia.
Waterholes in the Creeks provide a shady respite for Wildlife and Cattle on Outback Properties. The River Red Gums ( Eucalyptus camaldulensis ) prefer a regular soaking of their roots to grow and maintain their health. The tree roots help stablise the banks of the creek and prevent erosion.
The water looks, well... strange
It's fine silt particles suspended in the water, mostly clay particles, it's natural for this to happen, but cattle still like to drink the water.
Great photo and very useful. it is really. thanks .
have a nice day
I don't see any green along the banks, like grass or brush. The dryness must prevent any surface growth.
All the animals that go to drink at the water means that greenery has no chance to grow, too much traffic and hungry mouths ! In good seasons it will grow.
Got you , thanks B.
@ctrl-alt-nwo,
Water seems to be muddy! Anyway great photography and thank you very much for sharing such great experiences with us!
Cheers~
It's quite natural for inland creeks and rivers to be muddy. It's the fine silt that is suspended in the water, but it's quite drinkable for the cattle.

thx for sharing
Even a little practical working familiarity with cattle goes a long way in Africa, but how many international relations studies include this?
Not many ?
