Other rubbish: 4 balls, a chair, a shopping trolley, drinking straw, orange mesh- rubbish same as observed in May 2011. Water was less turbid. What stands out about this site today: uprooted trees still in the creek, rocks at each end of the bridge (stabilising the banks); orange mesh- a wildlife hazard. Mosses and weeds growing on recently eroded banks. Fauna observed: Rainbow lorikeets, galahs and noisy miners.
