Shorty Creek?

In the last two years I have got to know a small creek.
What is its name?

I don't know.

It is going to be "Shorty Creek" for this blog, named for the road leading to it; itself named for a family who once lived locally.

More to the point, where is it?

It is on the Eastern end of Kangaroo Island, in South Australia.















Half way along the 34K Penneshaw-Cape Willoughby Road, Shorty Road branches inland (due west) from Antechamber Bay, at the Lashmar Conservation Park.

Shorty Road ends where a large scrub block (with the creek flowing through it) meets cleared farmland.


















The creek flows south through the bushland then curves east and north again, before flowing into Antechamber Bay through a large lagoon

Here is the relevant googlemap URL
You can click on a map view, a satellite view or a combination of the two.
Unfotunately there is not yet a detailed satellite view.
