Notes

Bitterly cold and windy conditions. We almost lost out equipment box at the pontoon, the wind blew it to the edge of the pontoon, and we just managed to catch it in time.

Cath Bell was not able to go to Boggy Creek, so we completed only the Dory Street monitoring.

Ther was a distinct change in the colour of the water at the pontoon, in a line at about 30 degrees to the pontoon, with darker brown water near the pontoon, lighter brown further out.  See the photo.
