Description: This photograph is of Lindsay, who was swimming down in Brewarrina Weir with his son on a hot day in summer. I was hanging around, had wanted to go in but didn’t have the courage on my own. He must have noticed my thoughts, because he reached out his hand and helped me to sort of slide my way down the ramp, fully clothed, into the water. (I took my shoes off!) I stayed with them awhile, followed them under the waterfall that was gushing over the weir, and learned about places to swim between the rocks. It was awesome.
