The Susan St site had rubbish all over the place. All the rocks had moved (been moved?) downstream, so that the dammed area was also further downstream (see photos) There were several instances of rising bubbles in this area … yabbies? The banks had been cleared of weeds … obviously quite a bit of work done here since I last monitored in Nov. 2011 Phosphate and Ammonium both very high.
