Straight Street is the Main Street and is below sea level however it has been many years since any flood activity invaded the village and then it was slight. A flood gate has effectively halted any freshwater flowing along Korogoro Creek from its source at the Swan Pool wetland to its mouth at Hat Head. As a result, the creek suffers increasingly from sedimentation and will benefit from periodic opening of the installed floodgates during small flood events.
