Hazards
Litter/Pollutants bottles,plastic

picked up bottles and plastic, high water flow of tannin coloured water, a change from last months highly turbid brown water. Recently stocked Murray Crays at this site. No dead fish or fauna onserved. Water level very high and rising, but will keep within bank. All fringing vegitation under water again. We need to see low flows in this river over summer to ensure fringing vegitation recovers and the river banks heal.
