Gauge reading was 0.05m. At Mill Park, there was 2mm of rain on Tuesday, and 4mm on Sunday. Sample point was about 5 metres upstream of road bridge, and the river level gauging point. I didn't sample at the actual gauging point because the water was too shallow and I was stirring up the mud when dipping for my samle. The sample point was 5 m upstream where the long upstream pool narrows.
