Hazards
Litter/Pollutants
In the 2 or so years that I have been monitoring this creek I have never seen it like it is today. It was muddy when it usually is fairly clear and it was deeper than usual too. - Note from Co-ordinator Kirsten Hogan - Kilmore Gap has recorded 62 mm of rain between the 17th of September and the 27th September, which will contribute to high and muddy flow, and diluted EC!
