Very dry weather recently, a hot and windy day today with 35 degree forecast. The water is a little murky, but not as bad as it has been during the last week. Over the last week - since 15 January, Donaldson's Creek has been milky with sediment and visibly making the Darebin Creek quite murky. I have rung it in twice to the EPA, on 15/1 and 23/1. The most recent call had ref#69273. Also note the high conductivity and phosphate results. Often get elevated phosphate levels during the drier months, and conductivity is always high in the DC, but both high results seems a little concerning.
