Wider, deeper, and much more turbid. A large tree trunk has been carried down the creek and is leaning against the bridge causing a biuld up of branches, plant debris and rubbish. Two more tree trunks in the water close by, leaning against the bank. What stands out about the site today? Evidence of a much higher water level recently- flattened vegetation, plants covered in silt, bank erosion, specially the undermining of a bridge support. Lots of rubbish.
