Last rainfall 2 months ago. Salinity reading this month had increased quite a lot compared to september. First initial EC test showed a reading of 1460. Secondary test resulted in 1130. Higher ammonium and phosphate readings than previous times. Like the hearwater at the simpson barracks both sections of the creek are in urgent need of water flows to cleanse them. Litter pollutants present: paper, bottles, cans, plastic, cardboard.
