Litter also included balls. Flattened streamside vegetation indicated that the stream had been much deeper and higher after heavy rain. Depth had been 1m, and width had been 5.8m. There is more litter now on the dam ledges after the heavy rain. Less litter than usual in the pit drain --- just one plastic bottle and one styrofoam box. The log blocking one of the tunnels has gone. Still there: Weed trees in waterway. Bits of concrete (still being removed.) Common froglets were calling from the small wetland.
