More than 4 weeks earlier. Since the last test in March, there were several days of showers which managed to clean up the creek. This was evident through the turbidity reading of 10NTU. Bug samples were taken only with only 3 species detected consisting of mozzy larvae, snails and worms. Should the creek encounter further rainfalls the diversity of bugs might be greater. No bugs recorded this month.
