The Yarra as usual is clean at this site. I did notice some activity in the water some 80meters from where I was testing. At first I thought it might have been a duck along the edge. As I came closer to the spot, something did go under teh water, but never rose, big mystery. Next month will be the start of some bug sampling with the help of Pauline and Stacey (students).
