2013 winter floods have created a barrier of flood debris across the creek about 50m downstream from the ford crossing. This has caused a ponding of the creek to about 70 m upstream from this new barrier. The remains of a dead cow could be seen about 10m DS from the ford crossing, where I sample at the DS edge of the ford crossing. All very smelly!
