Water sample was taken about 20m down from last month. The quality of the Yarra at this point is good. Next month will be carrying out bug sampling along various sections of the river so can create a bug database as well as permanent samples for bug kit. This should be interesting as it will give an indication of the river health and a comparison of bug variety compared to the Plenty River at South Morang.
