N.B. Missed doing the water monitoring in early December 2012. These results above reflect the summer period. During the testing there was a very light shower. It last rained on 28/2/2013. The island in the centre of the creek both upstream and downstream of the bridge is more pronounced. Also for the first time there is Typha orientalis (Bull-rush) growing on the island.
