Habitat Survey: Rating : 7 The water quality at our site seemed to be quite murky. There were patches of white oil on the surface. There is a huge stormwater outlet at our site with a trickle of water coming out. We think approximately half the plants in the stream were native and the other half introduced. Unfortunately, there were a few plastic bottles and bags in our part of the stream. The ground was well covered with introduced grasses and plants with some native plants scattered throughout the area.
