"This site appeared to be in great condition, the creek was flowing, heard some common froglets calling and had everything there to suggest there was going to be macroinvertebrates. From the macroinvertebrate test I was lucky to see one lovely copepod - i have no idea why there is nothing else at this site unless earthworks from nearby tunnel sharf and instalation of piping is directly the conserquence for our lack of macroinvertebrate life. I'm sorry but I don't have any photos, but the works is being carried out directly across from our creek site in a spot which is a part of the Mt. Eliza regional park (mel ref. 105:J9)" - Ross Simpson
