55.2mm rain in the last 3 days. Water very muddy, the turbidity sample had to be diluted 1:7 to get a reading of 2,400 NTU. Width and depth of Creek has changed significantly since last monitored. Water is up to footbridge level and has been over it. Very fast flow. Branches and plant debris in water. Eroded bank. Extremely muddy water, with a variety of rubbish floating past, including large pieces. Flood danger signs placed on each end of the bridge. Stake is still there!

We installed our star picket marker post 5 days prior to the floods!! and luckily it survived! I have sent our "marker" photos , 5.3.10 and then our next observations which were taken 4 days after the flood. The water level was right up to the bridge which means it had risen nearly 4 metres!!! but had dropped back to 60cm by the Friday. I will also sent a flood photo I took with my mobile camera on the day of the flood. Cheers, Anne Wilson
