Thompson's Point was a regular spot for us to put a boat in. The story of the rock wall along the Fitzroy is an interesting one.

What’s the story on that mate? I’m a local but don’t really know about that Rockwall backstory

@@cfaadventures3280 The walls were constructed between 1895 and 1916. The idea was to 'train' the river to concentrate tidal flow to keep the river free of silt to save on dredging. However, the plan failed and the river silted up faster. The story goes deeper than that but that was the original idea. There are still sections along the river that retain their original size and form though.
