Highly recommend all of Beau’s videos. Glad to see him getting some love. This is a really cool feel-good video to start with if you aren’t familiar with his work yet: [Junk Cabin](https://youtu.be/BzSeGJF6RhM)
Beau is such a great story teller, he’s a modern day bush poet akin to Banjo paterson. My favourite film is the one where he spends [40 days eating nothing but beans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYsTlfhDSDY) and he handles it like an absolute champ.
The biggest river that runs through Bucharest (Romania’s capital) is the Dâmbovița. It starts high in the mountains, where it runs clear and cold and sparkles with thick deposits of mica that it carries downstream, across the country, and into the city.
Somewhere along the way it loses all the sparkle…
It gets strong, and wide, and filthy. And it runs through Bucharest in an unkempt canal that is currently green due to algae blooms.
In winters it freezes, and you can see birds sitting on the ice in groups – seagulls have long colonised Bucharest, despite it being 250km from the sea.
On warm days there’ll be fishermen on its banks dangling hooks while sitting in car exhaust fumes, as there are wide boulevards running alongside its entire length. Impoverished kids swim in it, despite the signs warning against the practice.
I’d like to see some trace of the strong, sparkling mountain river in this lazy canal, but most I see is a ‘lucky’ fisherman, or a flock of ducks.

Good stuff. Cooks is in my backyard – definitely wish it was cleaner

Beau is the best.
“I smell disgusting right now, and for man who doesn’t shower much that says a lot, you know?” LOL
The section from ~10:00 to 11:30 was disgustingly sad.
I love beau’s videos. I don’t know how I discovered him, but when I did I binge watched through all his videos.
Feel bad for the golfer at 12:40 who’s terrible tee shot has now been immortalized by this video.
Notice how the shittiest part is in canterbury-bankstown lga. That council is well and truly fucked
This was an awesome watch!

Sad to see there are people that don’t care about the planet all over the world.

Not the kind of “sick” I was thinking when I clicked link.
Ew.
You have really opened my eyes to how poorly we treat our land and water over the past few years Beau.
The drone shots alone in this video are stunning. What an awesome adventure! Thanks Beau!
I like Beau, I’d watch him boil a pot of water and talk about life for an hour
Gotta love Beau.
Beau is far and away one of the best people on Youtube, a true inspiration.
Amazing writing and shooting. Poignant and devistating.
This guy needs to win some journalism and filmmaking awards.
Great video!
Come on Australia. Pitch in and clean the river.
i went for an ill-advised downwind paddle in botany bay a couple of days after the february rains, that ended just inside the cooks river.
About 500m from the river the already brown water of botany bay changed to a slick deep brown, and the smell was nauseating despite the 25kn wind.
I fell in close to the finish, and got an ear infection.
8/10 cause its still downwind and downwind is fun.
I genuinely feel ashamed as a human.
