Notes
The water seems to be quite turbid as there has been recent rain. Small sticks and branches are caught on the rocks. One of the tree ferns has fallen down. Grant application assessment carried out today. They were impressed with the work we are doing and our ability to propogate new indigenous ferns from local gardens for our revege project.

Melbourne water staff came to assess Friends of Sassafras Creek for a Grant application at this site. They arrived just as we were completing our assessment. They seemed to be impressed with the additional monitoring going on here and the commitment of friends group members. Four members in attendance today.
