Amnonium and Reactive Phosphate were both filtered and heated for the testing. Ammonium reading was quite degraded at 0.12, which was consistent with observations made in Hurstbridge on 19/08/2012. Bank erosion was evident again with bank vegetation quite flattened by recent high water levels. Acacia dealbata and Angled onion in flower.
