- DO% saturation incorrect as Electrical Conductivity of water was not measured (the EC meter died - tried new batteries but didn't work). Have entered a random value to avoid error on submitting the data.
- Ammonium score degraded due to sewage spill extending from Billabong bridge into the lake.
- Monthly test delayed due to sewer spill - March - April
- Water very discoloured - almost black, smelly and still due to the sewage spill.
- No water in Vegemite Creek (one of the feeder creeks that enters the lake at Pobblebonk point)
- 2 female chestnut teals, 1 coot
