Water Depth - ~ 180 cm. Pool at least 100*8m. Sampled from small limestone out crop towards downstream end. Rate of Flow - There is a good flow of water under the road bridge. Water Appearence - There was a light flim over the surface. At mill park I recorded about 10 mm over the last week, but very little in the last 2 days. The water level was 20 cm below my refeerence point. which makes it 2 cm lower than when last monitored. The water appears reasonbly clear. The surface has a very light flim over it. There is also quite a bit of litter about, including polystyrene foam and plastic bottles. (Courtesy of the storm water drain put in late last year, no doubt).
