COURSE OF SECOND CREEK 
On 8th June, 1952, when the 
E. 8c W.S. Department were making 
excavations along Sidney Place (off 
Burnside Road and opposite St. 
David's Church) in the direction 
and towards Hazelwood Park they 
unearthed large numbers of water 
worn stones up to 12 inches in size. 
These were found at a depth rang- 
ing from 2 to 4 ft. 
This is evidently the old water 
course of Second Creek which, at 
that time, probably made a junc- 
tion with First Creek in the neigh- 
bourhood of Hazelwood Park.
