Notes

Some fish were found dead in the Eastern Branch last Friday the morning after works on extending the culvert began, most likely due to low oxygen levels in the Creek. The eastern branch opened up on Saturday/Sunday when the rain came through, filling the creek back up and improving oxygen levels.
