Last rainfall more than 4 weeks ago. Both wetlands experience good water quality readings. Although levels are down from last month, there doesn't appear to be any degredation. Bug sampling was cut short because of retesting of Banyule Creek. With the rain falling in the afternoon this started a number of frogs calling. Several speices counted. Max will be working on the dam wall next month next to wetland 2 in an effort to rainse the water level another 150-250mm. Should time permit next month we will be testing Yallambie Creek at the Rentons Ridge area near Yallambie Road.
