Riverlife
The Riverlife project aims to engage the community to actively appreciate Cooks River in Sydney, Australia. It usually more a tidal inlet then a River although is capable of flooding and receives the stormwater from 100 square kilometers of a highly urbanised part of the Sydney Metropolitan area. Other major waterways of Sydney include the Hawkesbury, Sydney Harbour, Georges River, and Port Hacking, all of which are Rias, but Cooks River shows more signs of slow weathering and development as a river than of being a flooded river valley. The River was an important part of the life of local aborigines for tens of thousands of years, and was a beautiful recreation facility for Sydney Siders during the early years of the development of the City. While severely damaged by development, the River and its catchment has many redeeming features, and the history of repair is now almost as rich as the history of damaging industrial and urban use.
Riverlife is a joint initiative of Marrickville, Canterbury and Strathfield Councils funded by Our Environment - It's a Living Thing (). Riverlife is one of a number of projects / groups / initiatives which are attempting to lead to improvements to Cooks River. One other significant project is CookNet ()
The Riverlife project began in 2002 and has involved a number of aspects.
==Riverlife Interpretive Tours==
Riverlife Interpretive Tours are an opportunity for local citizens to share knowledge and passions about the Cooks River in an interactive and engaging way. The first group of Riverlife Interpretive Tour Guides were trained in October 2003 and resulted in highly popular kayaking tours on the river run by the Tempe River Canoe Club; an arts workshop that allows creative expression of the value of the river; and a walking tour that interprets the history and stories of the Cooks River.
