Habitat
<p>As I am approaching the site there are a lot of grasshoppers jumping around and I can hear a few birds singing. The river has a medium flow of clear water. I can see a Kookaburra sitting on a branch which is overhanging the stream, a few little birds and butterflies darting around, there was a couple of tiny fish which quickly swam off as I approached. I can only see one small spot of bank erosion as the vegetation has covered the other spots. There is a lot of native vegetation on the banks and overhanging the stream also a few Blackberry bushes trying to take hold. Photos in diary.</p>
