Physical Chemical Tests

Someone has been damming up a small section of the creek using rocks and small logs. The logs are likely to wash away in the first big rain. It does not seem to be impacting the stream at all. There is still ample water flowing through the dam to create a nice waterfall. 

Habitat

<p>This site has recently had the elms and willows and blackberry removed and exotic pasture grasses and weeds have sprung up in their place. The weeds appear to be minimising erosion and are protecting the soil. The weeds also appear to be facilitating the growth of the recently planted Blackwoods and Silver wattle. Most of the saplings have sprung up in size and were proabably protected from the heat and drought over summer by the height and density of the weeds.</p> <p>There is a lot of instream aquatic plant coverage. It is thriving in the sunlight and there appears to be an abundance of yabbies.&nbsp;</p>
