February has been extremely dry with multiple days >35degC. Nil flow exists in the Creek however pools still appear to be visually clean. Water levels continue to decline. Temperatures in the upcoming week (2nd week of March 2016) are predicted to be in the low to mid 30's. Mosquito Fish are still surviving well in the pools of water that remain. A wheelie bin was located in the carpark near the spillway test location. It was removed in December 2015 for reasons unknown and since then there is regularly small amounts of rubbish found near or in the creek.
