What has changed since last time you monitored? More erosion and undermining of banks specially around /beneath bridge supports on the Edendale side. What stands out about the site today? Evidence of much higher water level, over bridge. Muddy banks and deposit of mud/silt 10m up the hill from the bridge on the footpath (N. Eltham Park side). The footpath has been undermined, leaving large cracks in the bank and dislodging the sign. Exposed tree roots in the creek. Dragonfies in flight, large tree trunk has been carried downstream, tree trunks and branches resting against the bridge. Orange mesh still there and other unsightly rubbish on Edendale upstream side of footbridge. moderate breeze with strong gusts
