Time monitored not specified so 9am added in. Rainfall not specified. Inspected site. Creek doesn't appear to be flowing. Look either side of road. There are pools of slightly milky water, can't detect flow, don't want to be alarmist. Check Dobson's Ck where it goes under Liverpool Rd and then along it's banks into the Retarding Basin reserve. Can't detect flow.?????????????????????? Two concerns: Firstly, why is there a black pipe running from the wholesale nursery into the creek? Surely it shouldn't be taking water from a seriously compromised creek or putting anything into it. Secondly, just because I can't detect flow does this mean the creek isn't flowing? I remember Trish saying that the creek is very silty, so prehaps its still moving below surface??
