The stream overflows but the flash flood subsides quickly too


 Today at about 8.30 am it rained at the park.  Thus not much outside work can be done in the morning.  Time to rest from work.  When it rained heavily the Kambatik stream will get flooded very quickly.  This is because the park is located at the headland of the Kambatik stream.  At many locations along its 500 meters meandering route through the park there are blockages that slowed down the current and causing the stream to overflow.  This phenomena is however short-lived.  Once the heavy rains are over, the floods quickly subside.  Below are the images of the stream overflowing in a matter of minutes....
