9mm rain. EC over meter range. There are roadworks happening on Balnarring Beach Rd. Dirt and concrete have been put on it and a lot was washed into the creek. Not sure if the drainage has been changed though because main turbidity seems to be upstream of the bridge. very high alkalinity due to concrete but still young Bream in creek.
