Hazards
Litter/Pollutants plastic,cans

Dandenong Creek had lots of litter - plastic bags, can, caught high on the banks and caught on high fallen branches over the creek indicationg the high water level recently. Unfortunately this will remain until the water level rises again and the litter will travel downstream.

Blind Creek is showing higher EC and reactive phosphate.
