Last rainfall 2 months earlier. Found it difficult to obtain clear water sample due to low levels, build up of algae and turbidity. Had to filter sample prior to phos/ ammon tests so clearer result could be obtained. Big increase in Phosphate reading probably due to dead fox carcass at water drain. Smell in water due to fox as well. According to Max Harker flows into the creek were over 2 months ago. All signs of frog activity at the creek are gone. If no rain falls during the month testing at the creek will be put on hold.
