The creek was running vigourously. Water was over into swamp/wetland area and some cms covering base of newly planted trees on opposite side to collection point. The newly discovered drain from last month was discharging clear water with foam. The creak was flowing vigourously with foam build ups. The top/crown of bank side wattle next to collection point blown out of acacia by storm action and sitting on bank side. The reservoir spillway was overflowing and the ford was covered with water and then the water was running down to our collection point.
Water temperature not measured due to unit not working. Air temp taken from BoM.
