Nine Mile Run provides an opportunity to consider the meaning and function

Seen
& Unseen:
http://www.seen-unseen.com/
Initiated by Helix Arts in England. Using water as a theme and a metaphor,
Seen & Unseen sets up opportunities to demonstrate and publicise how

their own pollution problems. It is hoped that through this process people
will become more aware of the ecological bond between their local place
and the wider world.
