Abstract
Rapid urban development of Australia’s coastal suburbs in the third quarter of the twentieth century often rode roughshod over the topographical features of the landscape that had evolved naturally over centuries. In the rush to build housing for a growing population, the natural riparian systems of water channels and creeks were often interrupted or ignored in favour of the quick-fix concrete culverts installed to quickly divert water away from the new infrastructures.
