Recent heavy rains appear to have washed away some of the bits of polystyrene. Cleared area almost completely regrown. Lot more surface weeds and clumps of algae. Area heavily infested with rabbits -- saw about 10 while doing the tests. Pacific black duck came to visit while I was there. Heard Spotted Marsh Frog, Queensland tree frog. Plenty of birds -- Pee Wee, Fairy Wrens, White plumed honeyeaters, reed warblers, silver gull, crested pigeon, swallows.
