Water level almost as low as it ever gets. Reading at Moorabool Street bridge confirms this. Plants spreading across water surface and bucket scrapes across algae covered rocks when I sampled the water.
Ducks had at least 3 ducklings in tow.
Blue tongue lizard rescued from water in drainage pit, initilly lifeless in the water; seemed to recover OK when left near vegetation
