Notes
A family was fishing from the regular monitoring platform, so we monitored from platform next door. They showed us a fish they had caught, thought to be a mullet of some type, which had several red (haemorrhagic in appearance) spots along its back and sides. The fish was alive, in a bucket of water, approximately 25cm in length. It was released back into the creek. They had also caught something much smaller and threw it back-do not know if it had any red spots.
A Stand-up paddle boarder went past, whilst monitoring, and there was swimming and paddling further up-stream.
