Other rubbish: 4 balls, 1 cup, 3 pieces of poly foam, 1 chair, 1 shopping trolley and orange mesh. What stands out: all the rubbish. The rocks have stabilised the banks close to the bridge, but there is severe erosion upstream, on the Edendale side. Up rooted trees still in the creek. A creek side Acacia close to the bridge is close to dead. Action contacted the local Council about the trolley and orange mesh.
