Water depth at lowest point beyond footbridgy is around 300mm. This was at a small waterhole within the creek itself. Banyule road side of the bridge is at the lowest point I have seen since the beginning of our Waterwatch program last year. Without continual rainflow or at least enough flow to cleanse the creek through to the wetalnds, the creek readouts will become more critical. Will try and clean out some more weeds over christmas period. Rubbish observed paper, bottles, cans, plastic and cardboard.
