28-04-2024	<p>At the testing site vegetation has been protected from wallabies and kangaroos by cyclone mesh fencing for > 18 months now and banks look vastly better than before this was implemented.</p> <p>The fenced area is narrow in this section - fencing being an estimated 5m from the centre of the stream. Northern side has revegetation 10- 15m width</p> <p>Previously riparian plantings were protected by 450mm high guards and animals had access to creek.</p>	Fair ³	Good ⁸	Good ⁸	Fair ³	Fair ⁶	²⁸
