Increased debris and rubbish (from visit in Dec 2016). Suspect recent higher flows: 3 metres higher than usual water flow (around 29/12/2016)

Lots of dragon flies

 

WW Coord Julia Cirillo: low DO result most likely due to high air temperature and presumably low flow of creek on this day. However no data on water flow, water depth or weather conditions have been added to this data.
