Observations: Heavy rains. Extreme lust growth around the whole area in particular the grass is very long and very difficult to walk through. Water is still looking very clear, not oily and there is plenty of reed growth. Overall the site is looking very good and healthy even though we still have a high salinity reading, however the salinity reading is one of our lowest that we have ever had.
