Stock access point across whole creek created with electric fencing directing cattle down from paddock. Obvious stock watering point. Worn tracks to water's edge, pugging, muddy. Tried to take E.coli sample in fenced area but not able to fill bottle direct due to electric fence. Very slight trickle flow downstream of stock access point.
