My hypothesis of the sample I have collected today compared to 10 days prier is that because of the heavy construction of tracks created over the past month from depi due to fire control an the heavy ash contents there are some obvious differences in the readings. The sediment seems to be coming mainly from goongerah creek as the further above the junction of the brodribb it seem clearer, which i assume is from the rain direction.
