Last rainfall 2 months ago. The creek level is quite low which prevented me from testing at my normal site. There were only pockets of pools along the creek which wasn't worth sampling. Obtained water sample from Yallambie Rd stormwate pipe around 60mts west of testing site. Salinity reading up from last month but probably due to non flows and surrounding rock formations. Yallambie Creek like the Banyule may not be worth testing unless good water flows return. I would class the Yallambie creek as degraded at my present site. Litter pollutants present paper, bottles, cans, plastic, polystyrene, cardboard, trolley and other.
