Good flows at test site this month have managed to reduce the high levels of Phosphate and Ammonium deposits that were recorded in October. Although far from clean, the creek is showing signs of improvement in bug activity. Limited to mainly backswimmers, there were planty of tadpoles along its length. Exotic plants and weeds are a real concern which are choking the native species and the creek itself.
